I.e. - put var and half of swap on da1, and tmp and the rest of swap on da2. The kernel will interleave swap usage across both spindles for better performance if you do that. > Anyone willing to help me learn and guide me from here? Thanks Well, you didn't describe a problem, and you didn't ask a question. It's hard to provide guidance without some indication of where you are and are trying to go. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
