That's exactly what I had in mind :) Netapp has something similar but
I forgot what it's called. I just don't like buying into,and being
bound to, proprietary systems. And I don't see the worth in buying one
only to find that it doesn't really suit my needs or work as well as I
hoped it would. With Linux (or for that matter Solaris / BSD) I know I
could at least put together something that will suit my needs, and not
the developers ideas of what they think I want
