iPod Shuffle RAID

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

ricercar writes "So, what do you do when you and some friends are all getting iPod Shuffles? You make a RAID array out of them, of course! The original intent was to actually install OS X on the RAID and boot from that, but the OS X (Panther, 10.3.5) Installer wouldn't allow it."

    Sure you can make a RAID array out of anything but making one out of storage devices on a CPU-intensive polled bus is exceptionally ludicrous.

  2. Gave up because the installer wouldn't let them? by DoctorPhish · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's hardly the right attitude from a supposed hacker.
    When Solaris 10 wouldn't allow installation on my Ultra1, I hex-edited the ISO, reburned, and installed anyways (and that only took me one evening).
    It's SOFTware for crying out loud! Show some initiative!
