Check out the stuff on OTN about using shared firewire under linux for =
the shared storage for RAC. There was also an article in Select Journal =
from IOUG on this. A very, very cheap way to go RAC (reliability is =
another issue, though).
I'm in the process of building a 2-node linux RAC setup, and hardware =
costs look to be about $250, for external FW drive caddy, ATA HDD, two =
firewire cards, two firewire cables, and 4 Gigabit NICs (2 old machines =
and ehternet cable I didn't have to pay for :-)).
