Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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
