Hi William
Although not quite what you're looking for, have a look at FreeNAS
(www.freenas.org) - it's a cut down version of FreeBSD set up just as a
Network Storage device. I too thought of some dedicated box (eg Linksys
NSLU2) but a small Pentium II was cheaper and FreeNAS was free (and has
proven reliable).
The FreeNAS ISO image is only about 7MB - burn it to a CD and boot from
the CD, give the box an IP number and an admin password and reboot. All
further configuration is via a web browser.
To quote:
"FreeNAS is a free NAS (Network-Attached Storage) server,
supporting: CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, RSYNC protocols, local user
authentication, Software RAID (0,1,5) with Full WEB configuration
interface. FreeNAS takes less than 16MB once installed on Compact
Flash, hard drive or USB key."
Adding SVNServe and you're set (no idea how hard this is but full source
is available).
It works well and may be of use to you. I'm using one of the Compaq
"Small Form Factor" Pentium II boxes with 128MB - works a treat
(although not with Subversion, but it's a nice thought!)
Cheers
Giovanni

Subject: SVN on NAS?
Hey all,
I'm looking for a really simple way to attach a harddrive onto a
network and use it as my SVN repository. I have gentoo linux where I
think I'd run my svnserve or apache process. I didn't want to stick
the drive in an empty linux box and use the entire machine as a
repository machine, rather, just some sort of NAS device like thingy.
Can anyone recommend drives to do this or point to the details that
might show how this would be done?
