Hi manoj,
Your apple Xserve is just my cup of tea :) Would you like to trouble
shoot the utilisation issue or are you aiming to just ditch the apple
OSX completely ?
If you want to troubleshoot the utiisation then please email me the
specs of the server, and also the design ( I.e. with regards to XRAID
or XSAN, and fibre switch)
Can you post the specifications of the X Serve ?
In answer to your question, you can access access a software RAID
volume created using Mac OS X on a Linux machine. Authentication to
OSX is handled by open directory (an ldap compliant directory service)
All you need to do is authenticate to the ldap and then you can access
what ever you require.
As an aside which file system did you choose when you installed the
server ? The Apple OS Extended FIle System, Apple OS Extended File
System + or the UNIX File System ?
