What's the point in not putting it on all available drives? I have a similar setup here on one machine and I like the fact that each disc is partitionied in exactly the same way and I could use each disc for booting if I swapped them around. The added redundancy is a nice bonus. Sure it wastes some space. But hey, what are a few megabytes when you have hundreds of gigabytes on the data partition. It's just not worth to introduce additional complexity just to gain 400mb IMHO. -- Andreas Micklei IVISTAR Kommunikationssysteme AG Ehrenbergstr. 19 / 10245 Berlin, Germany http://www.ivistar.de Handelsregister: Berlin Charlottenburg HRB 75173 Umsatzsteuer-ID: DE207795030 Vorstand: Dr.-Ing.
