Hi

I currently run a modest streaming replication target on a cheap, single
disk ASUS media center; replicating a 100GB PG database.

I want to add RAID via a consumer grade NAS device.

As far as I can tell consumer grade NAS devices these days appear to be
fairly rich & flexible embedded lniux/freebsd systems.

Has anyone had any experience with running postgresql on the NAS device
itself? Which products? Any traps or pitfalls or integrity concerns about
such an arrangement?

Andrew
