    SO I broke down and purchased a old server to install and start playing around with Vail. My system specs are as follows:

    AMD Opteron dual processor Tynan MB

    2x AMD Opteron 290

    8G Ram

    3ware 9550sx Raid card

    2x 250G hdd running in raid 1 for OS

    9x 750 G Hdd running in raid 5

    When I installed vail, it initially had issues loading the drivers for the raid card. I got that resolved but then noticed that once finished, it had pre partitioned all of my storage drives into 116gig partitions and left the main storage pool labeled as drive "Storage" Drive E?? 

    Can I reallocate the size of my sotrage drives? ie: http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1481/imag0383.jpg

    What did I do wrong?

    You mean besides missing the fact that the currently available version of
    Vail isn't worth playing around with at all as it expired on January 10th
    and there's no replacement yet, and when there is it will be using a
    completely different storage model?

    Thanks.....I actually used the work around and now have it up and running. I partitioned the 9 720 gig drives into 2 4 drive raids and a 720 single , 1TB as a single drive to the array. I have been moving a bunch of data back and forth and the only issue so far is the server has not found a suitable drive for backup. I do love this as a resource....going to start really making this thing a workhorse to see what happens as I have all of my data still running live on my WHS v1.

    Thanks Nancy!
