Network Storage Drives

[Zadikem, Travis-taz]

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.

	You should check out NASLite.  You can run it on any old PC with any
	size IDE hard drive.  It supports NFS, SMB, FTP, and HTTP.

	Hello,
	
	I'm running RH9 and am looking at purchasing a Network Storage Device (a
	cheap 40GB drive from Best Buy). 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
