[NCLUG] Moving Raid from Windows to Linux

[David Graham]

Hi all,

I am looking to move a Raid from Windows to Linux platform and then turn 
around and serv it back to the windows network.  The Raid is on hardware 
Raid 5 striped using a Adaptec 3200S controler.  But the filesystem is 
NTFS.  The question is: Is this easily done?

I see that ntfs is a supported file system for mounting.  I also see 
that adaptec has the Linux driver for the 3200S on there web site.  In 
theory I could install the driver and then see the disk and mount it as 
ntfs.  Reality may very.

Then the next part would be to set up samba to slave to our NT domain 
controler (never done this is it difficult?).

I invite comments.
