Would the system be able to halt if something was unplugged/some massive failure happened?
That way if something got tripped, I could fix it before any corruption or issue occured. That would be my safety net, I suppose. On 3/20/07, Sanjeev Bagewadi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Mike, We have used 4 disks (2X80GB disks and 2X250GB disks) on USB and things worked well. Hot plugging the disks was not all that smooth for us. Other than that we had no issues using the disks. We used this setup for demos at the FOSS 2007 conference at Bangalore and that went through several destructive tests for a period of 3 days and the setup survied well. (It never let us down in front of the customers :-) The disks we used had individual enclosures, which was a bit clunky. It would be nice to have a single enclosure for all the disks (which can power the disks). Thanks and regards, Sanjeev.
