My idea is use the box as SCSI subsystem which can be attached to any machine. So, I think, I would need to create all the filesystems including / and /usr on the RAID box itself, so that the CPU box is diskless and completely independant. However, I have seen that most such configurations have a system disk which is supposed to contain all this on one single disk. Is there any benefit to that? It seems the advantage of having a RAID box is lost if I use a single drive inside CPU box. Any pros/cons/pointers will be appreciated. Thanks, - -ry- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
