Hi,
I would like to connect two computers directly at around 30MB/s.
Computer A will be a fairly ordinary workstation.
Computer B will contain a number of ATA100 disks.
The idea is to create a few RAID 5 arrays within Computer B to be used
exclusively by Computer A (there simply isn't enough room in A alone). I
am thinking about the most cost effective and sensible way to do this - as
I see it, the most cost effective solution would be to stick 3-4x100Mbit
NICs in each box and bond the devices to create around 30MB/s+
(theoretical) throughput between the boxen.
Does this sound like a reasonable way of doing this or should I consider
fibre solutions (this is for home so I want it to be cheap, but reliable).
I am also after suggestions of a suitable network filesystem for the task.
Cheers,
--jcm
