I am sure someone else will come to your rescue, but I -THINK- that I remember hearing that you could stripe multiple hard drives togeather and mount one in anothers partition....but I don't remember how...I also seem to remember reading that besides NFS (or whatever it is) files system for linux there were at least two others, one by IBM and one by someone else...(oracle-no doesn't sound right)? So I think what you are saying is possible...I encourage you to keep looking! -hans Dan Zachary at KRSA wrote: > Thanks, Sean. > > Just what I was looking for. > > Now, is there a limit to the size of a hard drive that linux will see? > > I installed a 10.2 Gig hard drive on Red Hat 7.1 Fdisk seemed to give me a > partition that was by default 8 Gig in size.
