Hi,
I hve done a few test on my network an can achieve very high speeds.
Going from a server Intel onboard gigabit nic (PCI-e) with the CD
image first copied to another machine so that it is disk cache (RAM).
This removes the disk speed as a limiter. All of these are via a DLink
DGS-1024D. D
Hi,
I have found EVMS a good system. It is highly daunting initially
though. Once you get your head round it things like online resizing of
partitions and creation of volumes are nice and easy. If someone is
familiar with it maybe a overview how it works. Personally I find it
really handy
I've been following some of the discussion this week about disks with
interest.
I would love to hear a talk about RAID with a demonstration of how to
set up a raid solution.
Questions for consideration:
Can I set up a single volume with a bunch of different sized disks?

Anything that works is good. Intel and 3com cards are rated
Edimax use a Realtek 8169 chip (so r8169 module I think) and it supports
VLAN tagging and it's cheap.

I think I've got a couple at work, I'll take a look today
We stopped using DLT as well, as they became too small, and because we
had to fish leaders out of the drives one to many times! (As per
Steve's post, but we went to an LTO4 robot)
Cheers, Chris H.

Hi all - I'm on the scrounge for a DLT IV cleaning tape. New or partially
used is fine. A DLT III tape would work too.
I don't want to buy one in case this tape drive is dead... they're $120+
each.
Vaguely on topic I suppose, because this drive backs up files from horse.

Here are your options:
1) External USB-connected disk. Are there any which don't work with
Linux? Easy to do. Choice of IDE or SATA disk (*always* choose SATA).
Downsides: ne
