[dba-Tech] Building a network storage device

YEAaaaa!  So tell us all about it.  Put a floppy in, boot the machine, go to
another system and "there it is"?

My big question now is how the installation of a raid controller will impact
this "load a floppy" thing.  The other question in my mind is performance
and the like.  If I create a raid array, it is a blank slate, there are no
volumes.  Will it appear as a "huge hard disk" to Linux?  If so then how
does it get formatted and partitions created?  AFAIK all of that has to
happen on the local computer, i.e. a windows machine is not allowed to
format a drive on a system out on the network.
