This follows along with my other threads in making a NAS. I've had a few people suggest EVMS in Linux for this and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how exactly to install it. I'm running CentOS with a Gnome front end, but can't find anything online in regards to loading EVMS. Can anyone help?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I have no idea. I like Debian. But I'll download the ISOs (just for you <3) and see what I can find out.
Damn, that's pretty hardcore. You don't need to go through all that unless you really want to know. CentOS is a version of Red Hat. There's just no basic tutorial on how to hook it all up. I have the server itself built and the OS loaded. I ended up with a microATX board running a PentD 805 dual core with DDR ram. The 4 on board sata ports are for the storage drives and I added a 2 port card for the system drive. The board has on board everything pretty much and the case itself looks really clean. Hopefully I can get this up and running soon.

VMware makes it easy 
And I have 5/2 FIOS, so it took me about 1:15 to get ithe 4-disk torrent last night.
I wouldn't be able to give relevant advice about how to install without an RPM-based distro. All I have around is Debian and my own distro. Probably good to get some diversity around anyways

1) Get and install rpmforge.
2) "sudo yum update". It'll take a while to add the new repository. It'll probably download some packages, too (30 megs in my case, but only 8 packages from rpmforge).
3) "yum search evms".
4) "sudo yum install evms.i386".
Now evms is installed; to run it do "sudo /sbin/evmsn" or just "evmsn" as root. I haven't tried actually *doing* anything with it, you may need kernel patches, but that's a bit more complex and I don't want to do that if I don't have to. I suggest you leave the root and boot volumes alone lest you end up with an unbootable system.
