Carter" To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org X-Mailer: exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 Subject: a 2U RAID+sound server design Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Greetings! I am curious if there are any opinions on the following headless server configuration: Case: http://www.amtrade.com/computer/2u_hot_swappable_industrial_case.htm 3 PCI cards: sound, 3ware 6400, network. serial console admin, only because that case has only three pci slots on the riser, if I'm interpreting the diagrams right. I've got a lot of flexibility on cpus. Comments? Is there a better case for the 3ware cards? What does it mean to have root on a raid? Thanks!
