I added another and > would like to have both drives seen by the system as one 160G drive. Does the new drive contain any data? If not, create a vinum volume on it, newfs it (pass apropiate options for a 160GB fs if you care) and copy the data over. Convert the old drive's slice to type vinum and attach it to your existing vinum volume (destroying any data there). You can then growfs to fill up your whole volume. qvb -- pica To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
