Linux RAID server --- Easiest Way


Guess the new Linux Kernel supports Expandable arrays. I need a easy to use/light weight solution for creating a NAS server. My parts should be showing up today, so I have kinda left this last peace behind

I will be installing this on a plain PATA drive, with a SATA 6 disk RAID-5 array, with the expectation to grow this up words of 20 drives. I have a little experience with Linux, and allot of failures (mostly setting up the GUI).

I will be using a P965G Intel chip set.

I will not be using a GUI for this setup, and will want to telnet into the machine for maintenance and upgrades. (I don't own or want a KTM).

Thanks
GreenJelly

Webmin

Webmin is the easiest way to configure a RAID as far as I can tell. You can check it out at www.webmin.com .
