Scratch that. An immediate show stopping pitfall occurs to me: the necessity to match CPU/OS Architecture between primary server and replicate target. Doubtful that there are any consumer NAS products out there running linux on 64bit/intel

Hi
I currently run a modest streaming replication target on a cheap, single disk ASUS media center; replicating a 100GB PG database.
I want to add RAID via a consumer grade NAS device.
As far as I can tell consumer grade NAS devices these days appear to be fairly rich & flexible embedded lniux/freebsd systems.
Has anyone had any experience with running postgresql on the NAS device itself? Which products? Any traps or pitfalls or integrity concerns about such an arrangement?
