Hi all,

We are looking at connecting up several Linux media servers running either
RHEL3 or RHEL4, and wanting to know what people think of them. The hardware
will probably be IBM Intel servers. Our environment is NBU 6.0 with STK
PowderHorn and SL8500 tape libraries, with 9940 and T10000 tape drives.

Has anyone go any/many of these in their environments, and if so, what do
you think of them. Is throughput good? Do they have many issues?

We will be connecting a few TB of disk to them to use as a disk staging
pool, and then off-loading the data onto tape (DSSU).

Thanks in advance.
