My requirements are: a Storage that is available via Network, flexible in scalation, and must be redundant, and cheap if possible.... My Own suggestion was this scenario: 2 boxes very cheap for ~300$ 2 or more SATA-II-Controller ~30$(SIL) 4 or more Disks with 200-250GB ~100$/piece the configuration that i think: the 2 boxes became 2 virtaul IP-Addresses for CARP to manage Master/Slave. the Extra SATA disks get configured wit geom as big volumes or any other configuration (not very important, but the 2 boxes should have the same configuration) the big-Volume created by geom/ccd/gvinum or any other should get mirrored over the Net to the other box.....i think ggated/ggated get my best friends... Has anyone experiences or suggestion for those scenario? the only component that i has used today was gmirror...... thanks a lot for any Help. regards michael
