Turns out that mirrorred drives + growablility on a raq2 is going to require a bunch more work.
1. No root on raid.
2. resize_lfs's stability has been called into question.
3. Still haven't investigated the growing of raid's.
The console server project has encountered a bit of a snag. The recommened dual serial rs232 IC's want +5,+12,-12. Alternate parts want +5,+12. I haven't been able to find a dual that is just +5. Either I add additional voltage to the board, or I significantly increase the chipcount. (Both of which may make space tighter.)
A case is still backordered, and a bunch of the ICs that I want don't seem to be carried by Mouser. I'm up to an absurdly expensive order, but thats quickly mitigated with the fact that there are components for 3 different projects in there. I'm just going to have to sit down and map out a couple of potential solutions. I'm worried that the deciding factors may not become apparent until I start doing board layouts.
Taking out a tree also failed. They didn't have the battery powered Sawzall at the store I went to. The 20 minute internal debate on an alternate brand, plus daylight savings changeback means that the tree is still standing. *sigh*
In lighter news:

... and I found a power supply that matches the SCSI based PCMCIA slot unit I have.
