If those IDE drivers are IBM 120GXPs, have you checked
the warranty doesn't preclude 24 7 working?

Subject: [9fans] fs hardware configuration
I'm finally going to build a proper fileserver. I have a PC with
512MB of memory, symbios scsi controller and 2Ã9GB SCSI drives. I'm
also getting 2Ã120GB IDE drives. My limited understand leads me to
believe that I could designate the IDE drives as WORM and the SCSI
drives+memory as cache. What is the best way to configure this?
Also, are the idefs changes (dorman/geoff/nemo) in the latest
distribution?
