we're only up to 45GB on our central server. we're REALLY pressed for
space, to tell the truth, but I'd rather find a RAID solution before
adding more drives...

I'm guessing the RAID-5 support in the kernel should not be touched yet,
but what about some RAID solution manageable from the Linux? I read all
over the place about cool RAID adapters and enclosures, but they all
require you to reboot into a DOS program or their BIOS mode to grow or fix
them. I am looking for something hot-swapable, that will be managed from
the console natively (Sam, you promissed me an answer and a price quote!)

maybe someone in VA Research? (hey, I asked YOU guys for a price quote
over a month ago too...)
