Multiple disks basically added together like RAID, but in a software/hardware setup to create one large volume (and single file system).
man gconcat man ggated man ggatec man gmirror (could be useful) man growfs
The use would be for web services... so when a particular volume fills up I can extend it by adding disks and not have to move home directories to different file systems, etc... _____ From: Derek Ragona [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 2:14 PM To: Don O'Neil; [email protected] Subject: Re: Building a SAN using FreeBSD At 04:00 PM 10/6/2007, Don O'Neil wrote: Anyone have any resources for building a FreeBSD based SAN device? IE, how can I create an extendable file system using networked drives in muliple boxes without paying a billion dollars for someones expensive drive arrays. TIA! Well you can load FreeBSD on multiple boxes, I assume using cheap disks, then run samba on each to share some of the drives. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by <http://www.mailscanner.info/> MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
