If you need an OS to run it, you might want to look into: http://www.openfiler.com/ It supports LVM so you can grow your available space, without worrying different partitions. It does snapshots for backup as well. I'm not running OpenFilter right now but eventually I think I will have to, as the megapixel rating on my wife's camera continually increases. Currently it's just a nightly backup to a USB drive. Alex -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
