My new server is in, I can pick it up on saturday. I do not the the exact specs but here are the bare miniums.

4 Processors
100gigs of RAIDed SCSI Drive's (9.1gigs each)
1gig of Ram
Lan
Video
backup internal powersupply
full sized server case (the mini-fridge type)
SCSI CD-ROM

Bret said that those are the lowest figers most likely some will be higher eg. 150gig's HD or 2 gigs of ram.

This server will be the new home of KalNet Files and most likely the DSCWI as well.

More to follow as it developes!

OH GOD YAH!!!!! I shed a single tear of joy and look forward to SSHing in and putting the horsepower of that baby to use. Folding at Home shall have a new leader, and his name shall be "Kal Bob".

All Kal Bob needed was a monkey, a drill press, a shaman, 5 vestal virgins, and 5 litres of acetic acid. It was a wondrous ceremony when he birthed his unholy server from hades.

8 out of 12 drives show up in Linux. I think I know why the other 4 don't.
Will now why when I am finished Installing and recompiling the system.

I figured out why the 4 extra drives were not reporting. The solution is a little complicated so I put the 4 extra rives in Giaus. I figure this way it will balence the drive space between them.

Further all major hardware Issues have been found and corrected. I am now Installing ans configuring Software. It is working now as a RAID Fie server. I am still playing with the chunk size.
If anyone knows a good site about the Details of RAID, they would be helpfull
