I have to agree on this one - if I am going to start doing raid etc.,
its not going to be on a device without a console, if my data is that
important, I want to be able to get in there when I have to to fix
things and bring it back from the dead. My preference is always where
possible a generic boot system that can be replaced completely, and the
data on raid drives that could be put in a completely new system and
brought back to life if necessary. I don't see the nslu2 as fitting the
bill for this at all - its niche is a low power solution thats pretty
much disposable when it breaks, and focus should be on backup of
whatever matters, and ease of just dumping it back into new hardware
when needed.
