RAID was: Samba Mount File Corruption
I assume you are using them in a raid, are you using an IDE controller, if so which one or are you using RAID within the kernel itself. e.g. software only raid.

(resolution note:) Instead, we got four of the 120G devices, and ended
up spending $600 for for 480 G instead of $500 for 320 G. I think, doing the math, that was a net gain.
Having 4 devices vs 2 devices is a tough decision, more possibility for individual failure, more power consumption vs. more and flexibility. :)

No, actually. This is just a staging server - we backup from production solaris and linux boxes to this one, then from the staging server to tape. So we did the easy thing to make sure we didn't run out of storage. Other than a 3 Gig root and a 1 gig swap, everything's in a single 464G LVM partition. Woo Hoo. Makes for an interesting df listing, rather startling to someone who doesn't know...

Indeed. With everything in a large LVM, the MTPF is quartered. But then, it's set up just as the client directed, risks taken into consideration.
