[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 364735, member: 26653"] Nope, I didn't try anything but a Windows platform because I intended to use TV Server on it. I did see your other threads, and I will make a couple of notes: Someone in the forum did some work to get Windows running in VMWare (virtualized), and TV Server running on the virtualized O/S. Search the forums for "vmware" or "virtual", maybe. There are people who hack XP to add RAID 5 functionality. (I think you said your 4x500 are raid 0 or 1.) It's copying a couple of files from Server 2k3, and a registry hack. I agreed with the points you made in the other thread. If I am responsible to support it when something goes wrong, then I need an O/S I am comfortable with. As much as I'd like Linux software RAID, I'd be screwed when it broke. Same problem with virtualization. I presume you saw the discussion earlier in this thread about on-line capacity expansion? That's the one thing you DON'T get with Windows software RAID. I hope this helps- Jason [/QUOTE]
