That sounds very good to me.

I just looked at that and I have 2 questions.
1) Do you test with IDE drives and/or IDE Raid controllers. I was thinking
they might be useful in a low-end solution. Especially now that there are IDE
Hardware Raid controllers available for a reasonable price. Some even support
hot-swap capabilities.
The test server I just ordered has a IDE hardware Raid controller in it.
My hope is that it will be relatively fast, and that the Raid controller with a
1 + 0 setup will read data 4 times the speed of a single drive.
I know that IDE has problems, but I am trying to setup a low-end Samba server,
so I'm hoping that it will work okay.
2) Do you do any testing with Samba? I am going to install Mandrake 8.1
because it already has XFS and Samba with ACL support preconfigured.
I know I will still likely want to get the latest versions of both, but it
seems smart to start with a working environment.
Thanks,
Greg
