I know vaguely that I need to do a newfs and such, as well as an fdisk, but I don't know what all the options mean and how to best optimize this drive. Also, I'm thinking of obtaining an identical drive as my system drive and performing a dump of sorts on a schedule for backup purposes. anyone have any insight? thanks _______________________________________________________ Eric F Crist "I am so smart, S.M.R.T!"
