Hi there!

Im desperatly looking for a cheap and good way to have a NFS server that 
can stripe disks into gigantic volumes.

I currently want to add 8 gb on serveral drives into one volume.

Is this possible with FreeBSD. The only solutions I have found as of now:

Novell with NFS gate = 64 Mb memory plus tonnes of money
WINNT		     = Not a chance :)
Aix		     = Too expencive aswell
NFS Server system    = They cost more than should be allowed by law :(

Any other suggestions if FreeBSD does not support it?

My problem is that I am starting an Internet Provider site, and need to 
bundle many hardrives on a computer for my users home drives.

i would have to have many NFS volumes for this (Currently running on a
SS20). 

If I cold have just one it would save a lot of work, that is checking 
the amounts of users per disk, etc.

Regards

	Mikael Hugo
