tlug: Re: Making big ones out of little ones



Two words:Software RAID
(See http://linas.org/linux/Software-RAID/Software-RAID.html)

Don't know if the Debian installer supports this since I don't use
Debian.  (Most likely you'll need to recompile your kernel to
enable this and install the neccecary userspace tools.)

Contrary to what steve may say MD is a good thang for little people
like me who can't afford big disks with kokka-yosan ;-) (Especially
since this allows you to put those good old 540MB hard disks to good use/
even 2 of the new IBM 20GB drives.)

Yours,

Ps: Ooo steve 500 whole MBs in the Xemacs tree?  Try keeping source/objects
and binaries for a full distro lying around ;-) (Then again I do have a 3GB
/home for a reason)
