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."

    not to mention pedantic, but...

    really, a RAID array?

    isn't that like an ATM machine?

    a PIN number?

    As most probably know, the coward is incorrect, linux (http://yellowdoglinux.com/) does run on the power pc and linux supports various levels of raid.
