Yep, sure, but as I said, that machine is a diskless machine, so / is
actually NFS mounted from the old NFS server :) hence /tmp is already on
the NFS server. The new NFS (netgear nas) is mounted under /mnt/nas/media.

Yep, me too :)

AFAIK, you only need to upgrade the connections to the PC's that
want/need the faster speeds, plus the NAS device itself (and switch).

Yes, using built-in RAID1
Not entirely sure... I've removed/plugged a drive while it was switched
on, and it seemed to work, but I haven't tested removing a drive, and
plugging in a blank one. I want to get the more basic stuff working
first (like decent performance over NFS).

No, I've disabled all the extras... I just need a NFS server, no extras...

No problem :)

I'm thinking that I should have sprung for the bigger netgear nas, or
else the QNAP one, (QNAP sounded really good, and has a great feature
list... possibly worth it though considering the amount of time I've
wasted so far on the netgear :(

I'm not suggesting the netgear is crap BTW, just it doesn't work for me
yet...

Adam
