I've recently setup an external raid box from metastor. It's got a FreeBSD 3.2 box serving nfs for my web/ftp/shell servers. We were wanting to also support our few NT based machines and have run into a few problems. I was wondering if anyone has successfully run bsd and NT both on the same scsi bus? The Metastor unit has a Symbios differential raid5 controller, and I have a adaptec 2944uw in both the BSD and NT boxes. I've been told NT has problems with file locking/etc..however would this apply if it was only accessing a partition for itself formatted as ntfs? Leaving the BSD box to access the other partitions for the unix servers? Only emails I've seen similar to this were talking about multiple BSD boxes, or one guy who did it with an Amiga and a BSD box.. I do have NT Enterprise Server, which is supposedly capable but OSSI (company who sold me the metastor unit) will not support a BSD/NT combination..and I have no desire to trash the data on the unit in testing. -- Stephen Comoletti Systems Administrator Delanet, Inc. http://www.delanet.com ph: (302) 326-5800 fax: (302) 326-5802 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
