"raid"
- probably use stripping so that if you have 2 disks, you have 2x
capacity ...
"md-tools" in the old dayz
disks are huge nowdayz...( 80Gb for $300 ).... you should think more along
the lines of 1 disk for data.... and 2nd disks for live backup etc... not
necessarily raid mirroring etc...
- be sure your kernel supports "raid"
- define your sw raid with /etc/raidtab
- be sure to export /dev/md0 to your windoze PCs..
- configure /etc/smb.conf for samba so that the windoze PCs can read/write
into the "big disK"
see the "software-raid HOWTO" and related docs
