I see that there are people running INN on BSDI systems, say a
pentium for example.
I run a news server here on a DECstation ULTRIX box. Unfortunatly
ULTRIX can't mount a local disk more that 1 gig. I thought of using SCO
but am told there is a toy limit on the number of inodes of 65000 at the
moment. This won't be fixed until the next full reslease of a version.
Can BSDI handle the new 9 gig disks in a reasonable way? I'd like
to mount most of it as a single partition and not have to worry about
toy inode or file space limits.
Is there any kind of logical disk system in BASI that can build a
logical disk from a number of physical drives? I'm really tired of
symlinks.
How easy is it to put the usual good stuff up on BSDI, i.e. INN,
sendmail, BIND, Gopher Web servers, etc.?
I'd really like to have a chat about this from real users and not
sales droids. Thanks much. Any help appreciated.
