You could use ccd, but that's kinda complicated. If all you need is to use that sppace effectively, and you can afford a static partitioning of it, you may want to divide /usr into separate partitions. For example, you could mount /usr on one disk, /usr/local on another and /usr/src on yet another disk. However, be careful with what you do, because the space each such directory will take up is very much installation-dependent. > > is this possible? (2.1.5) You can always use ccd that lets you "stripe" disks (preferably of the same type). If you want that, take a look at ccd(4) and ccdconfig(8). > > thanks > > ====================================================================== > Jeremy Sigmon B.S.
