One may consider the use of RAID mirroring + LVM. Sure, okay, as posted, LVM is going to change, but, well, is there anything more flexible and redundant than a Mirroring + LVM setup? If someone does know a more 'comforting' setup then I'm interested to know... because I'll soon have to be ordering a few dozen drives. -- Paul L Daniels http://www.pldaniels.com Linux/Unix systems Internet Development ICQ#103642862,AOL:cinflex,IRC:inflex A.B.N. 19 500 721 806 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
