I'm in that position now. 6 x 250GB drives in RAID5 (1 configured as hot-spare). So, around 1TB of storage. I'd like to expand, but it's not easy without destroying the array and re-building. And like JJ says, where the heck do I put 1TB of data? !!! R. _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
