Set it up today. small RAID1 for boot (6 devices) 32 gigs RAID6 for / (right now it's all in there... /var etc ... just to keep it simple for the start) the rest (aside from swap) went into a LVM-VG (sorry, folks) I will learn about bind-mounts on my testboxes, for the customer I decided to stay with what I know so far. And, yes, I took care of chunks, stride, and stripes .... ;-) Thanks all .. Stefan
