I'm only telling you this to save you some grief. If recompiling a kernel is too advanced for you, then LVM and RAID are way way over your head and you really need to do a lot of learning before you get in to either of them. I would consider both LVM and RAID to be at least as advanced topics as kernel compilation. There are a whole lot of factors to deal with and neither technology is something that you can approach without adequate preparation and experience. I mean no offense by this. I just think you should know that it's probably very unwise to go messing about with your users' files when you don't know exactly what you're doing. What I recommend doing is getting a single disk that's big enough to hold what you need, and finding other uses for the smaller disks. noah - -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE53lBWYrVLjBFATsMRAkAaAJ0U1xFoTVe2ig78GkmqR2myPdfDhQCfTwpH QvS3gaKVjZsjOA51UiUtRF8= =CTP/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
