You keep mentioning that you plan on using NFS, and everyone seems to keep ignoring the fact that in order to make NFS performance reasonable you're really going to want a couple very fast slog devices. Since I don't have the correct amount of money to afford a very fast slog device, I can't speak to which one is the best price/performance ratio, but there are tons of options out there. -brian -- "Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries.
