Hi,

Yes, you can do this a couple of ways:

1. Use raid to create a larger drive array, and put the data directory onto the raid array.
2. Symlink off sections of the data directory onto different drives.

Hope this helps,

Alex

Hi,

One method or the other (although I suppose you could use both combined if you needed to, i.e. have two raid arrays, with data split between both, probably not what you want though).

Cheers,

Alex
