Anyone can help me to decide what Linux Distro i can use for File Storage and easy to swap harddisk and i hope can you give me Step by step procedure.. THANK YOU and GOD BLESS..0

I am a bit lost about your request, any distro can be used to access file-storage, but the easy-swap hard disk is what I am confused about. Are you referring to using a hot-swappable hard disk or just configuring your system to recognize new disks that are added?0

mfillpot is right. Any Linux distro should be fine. My guess is that you have a very specific drive enclosure that you're using. What may be a bigger concern for you is whether or not the kernel correctly supports your IDE / SATA / RAID controller. You probably also want to read up a bit on LVM, as this is most likely the tool that you will be using to manage the drives and their images.
good luck.0 -
The best distro used for file storage is OPENFILER . Which can be used for multipurpose. It provides you a rich feature gui for managing the disk drives. http://www.openfiler.com/
It is not recommended for desktop use.0 -

Hi haliparotin,
I haven't used a better storage distro other than openfiler. I recommend it only in case you are going to use it for storage server.
A easy step by step installation step is available at http://www.openfiler.com/learn/how-to/graphical-installation . The distro is suited for storage and does not contain unnecessary services.
If you are looking for a reliable operating system go for redhat enterprise linux 5 or centos 5. The linux kernel supports almost all scsi disks.0 -
