Actually for all those interested, the best option would be to got to ebay and buy an MAXTOR NAS 4100 for about $150.00. Once you get it reflash the bios from Super Micros site and remove the metal back plane (just screws) that covers the USB and mouse ports and you will have a PC that you can load with whatever you want with SCSI and IDE built-in, 10/100 dual nics. I have one here that I reflashed that is running Windows 2000 with 140GB that I use to backup up our windows machines too. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Jeff Frantz Sent: Fri 1/14/2005 8:07 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Cc: Subject: RE: Network Storage Drives You should check out NASLite. You can run it on any old PC with any size IDE hard drive.

Would there be any compatibility issues with this (I can't imagine so since it is accessed via the network)? The reason I ask is because the drive specs state that a "Windows" type system is required. I'm thinking it is only because of the software they include (for backing up files, etc.). Secondly, is there a way to mount the device without using NFS (I'm going to partition the drive. Some of the space will be windows fs, others will be ext2)? Thanks in advance for any replies. -Jim -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
