[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi everyone, I hope you can help me with another problem I have. We have a server containing large log files (50 MB per day), and these files are essential to the company. This machine is running FreeBSD and has two IDE drive. As you can see, we ought to find a more scalable and reliable server to store these log files. I know RAID is probably the way to go, but Which level of array I should choose? And how do I scale for future growth? Many thanks in advance! -Meagan [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4030.2400" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope you can help me with another problem I have. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have a server containing large log files (50 MB per day), and </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>these files are essential to the company.
