Re: recording a stream of data remotely, and reliably

Is there some current solution that you are trying to improve on or does the collection software need to be written from scratch?

Can you not just share the large hard drive and write to it direct from the small drive machine?

No there's no solution right now, it's simply catting a file to disk, so a simple solution from scratch must be written. It's just convoluted since the disk happens to live in another machine... sharing is less simple in my opinion, but if it works it works, what technology would you pursue to accomplish that? the big disk is in a box running OS X 10.3 and the sampling machine is running Ubuntu 5.10, very bare install. I sense that NFS could do this, but i've never worked with it so i'm hesitant to do so. It's not what you look like, when you're doin' what you’re doin'.

I don't know nix. In the windows world it would be a trivial matter of setting up a share on an appropriate folder from the large machine and accessing it from the small machine. I'm sure nix savy monks will be able to tell you how to do the equivelent in your context. If you can do it at all, then the minimum you need to do is change your cat to use the remote location.
