oops .. sorry ... bad comm style :-)

yes... the new disk is on the same pc as the current svlug.org machine

since we're getting nit picky about it ..
	- the new disk is NOT even screwed down or mechanically
	held down ... just sitting on CD media  and at least it
	has a fan blowing nice cool air across the old disk and
	new disk

to build raid .. to have 2 disk for the new system and the original
old svlug disk means we'll ahve 3 disks in there .. 
	
	and it only has space vertically and there is no disk brackets
	so for now it'd just sit on cdrom disk to isolate itself
	( the case is designed for only for 1 disk, no brakets )

just did ..

and more imporantly... the old svlug disk is still intact with a
few changes like ip# and acct for me and i changed the root pwd
because i donno what it was

it's a seagate ..

the other spare disk i have floating around is a maxtor 300GB disk

raid should not care about manufacturer and disk sizes
or so goes the theory
