Greetings, I'm building a news server using FreeBSD 2.1.0 as the OS and INN as the news handler. I will be using SCSI drives for the news spool but I'm wondering if IDE has a place. The motherboard is an ASUS PCI and the IDE controller is pretty fast. Should I put the OS and base directory structure on the first drive (854MB) and swap/history on the other (854MB) or should I go with say, 5 2 GIG SCSI drives? I ask because I'm worried that 5 news/swap/history spindles may be too much for the average SCSI controller. Thanks, Craig +------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Craig Shrimpton | e-mail: craigs@os.com | | Orbit Systems | information: info@os.com | | Worcester, MA 508.753.8776 | http://www.os.com/ | +------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
