Its sad that my post could effect you the way it did. You have Slinging insults has done nothing to provide a solution to my build, and has distracted from the quality of this forum. Maybe someone can recommend a different Linux Forum that is better moderated and/or not filled with a person so near sighted that I cant get a solution due to the fact that things tend to deteriorate into flame wars. Dexter why must you focus on information sharing as being negative. Am I proud of my gaming/work machine... absolutely... Just like I'm proud of my car and house. Did I share this info to brag to people on a RAID Linux forum? Absolutely not... Thats what OCForums is for:) I provided this information as to the reasons why I decided to build a separate machine, and to provide information on what resources I have. A great example is the idea to pull my 550w PSU from my work horse and place it into my NAS machine. I also was hoping for someone to come up with a unorthodox solution, that may save me money. This forum doesn't seem to be a place for answers, though I really appreciate the instructions from Daniel Korstad dan@xxxxxxxxxxx on how to put the drives to sleep. I have created a mail folder for such great responses. I have yet to get info on what build and/or distro I should use. What commands I need in Linux to build an array. What commands I need in Linux to expand the array, and what type of RAID-5 setup linux option I should use to What SATA adapter cards I should use. Or any other ideas and suggestions. Thanks Dexter for providing an environment where such info is unobtainable. GreenJelly PS The reason I use my Alias is the fact that their are socially inept, super critical, highly judgmental individuals who see asking for help, as begin a weakness. Or simply individuals who like to tear you down because you don't do things like they feel should be done. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends.
