Subject: [9fans] robust heterogenous home file server?
Date: Thu,  9 Aug 2007 15:58:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200708091358.l79Dwha23305@zamenhof.cs.utwente.nl> (raw)

I'm finally producing data at home that I care about (DSLR, shooting RAW)
so I'm wondering how to construct a robust file server that allows
heterogenous access (windows, mac, linux, plan9), is affordable,
low-power, ideally low noise, low-maintenance (I like kenf) and preferably
can be built with little effort using of-the-shelf items.
robustness being the main criterion.

I've been looking at coraids products but they seem a bit high-endish...
something like that but then 'smaller' might be nice.
I'm unsure about plugging usb-drives into wireless access points
(what is apple's bonjour? open in any way?)


any thoughts, experiences? (does, don'ts?)

Axel.
