[olug] Booting from SAS drive in a desktop?

[Sheldon, Roger W]

OCZ vertex 4 128G is about $100.  I am planning on that one when I can get funding approved by the minister of finance. Right now hurricane Halloween has preapproved funding.... :(

Ahh, the old SAS drives.  I see that now.  Yes you can do that with any number of SAS controllers that support most major Linux distros.  Most any of them support the major RAID types (you mentioned mirrored drives).

> Just want to make sure I am reading you right:  you want to boot your desktop, from the server's SAS drives (as in VDI)?

No, I want to remove the SAS drive(s) from the server (to make room for something larger) and place them inside the desktop.
