[lug] Tape Library Systems

[Harris, James A (Jim)]

Note sure if there's anything production available yet, but I do know that
StorageTek is starting to develop Linux solutions for some of their
equipment.

(Just a thought.)  Don't know much else aobut what they're doing, if it's
ready, if it's small enough or what the reliabillity is, but hey... that's a
start.  :)

Does anybody out there have experience with a tape library system for
Linux?  We need capacity about 10 -12 terabytes,  we value reliability
over speed. Of course we could always go with a Solaris controller for
the system but it would be nice not to mix our cluster if good Linux
solutions abound.


Thanks,
