Not rocket science. What's the problem?
Forgot to say: I speak from experience. This is how I do file storage at home: /dev/hda1 7,4G 5,3G 1,8G 76% / /dev/hdc1 150G 111G 39G 75% /silo1 /dev/hdd4 145G 106G 40G 73% /silo2 /dev/hda3 67G 24G 43G 37% /silo3 /dev/hdb3 67G 53G 15G 79% /silo4 /dev/hdb1 7,4G 5,2G 2,0G 73% /root2 Whenever the family has collected too much, I just replace the oldest disk with the newest for more space. Important data is rsynced between spindles. More important data is rsynced to a different box. All this runs on an old PII 350MHz with 256MB which also is print server, VoIP phone switch, router, NAT and firewall. The key is to use a good case with extra fans that keeps eveerything cool including the disks: Sep 7 09:23:08 houser hddtemp[4332]: /dev/hdc: SAMSUNG SV1604N: 33 C Sep 7 09:23:08 houser hddtemp[4332]: /dev/hdd: SAMSUNG SP1604N: 35 C I have never had one break before I swapped it because it became got too small.
