Put all the spool on the remote raid system, that should work ok. and put
the history and workarea on the local hard drive. partition it into a 5 gig
area for the history, and 3gig for the rest.
You will have to put the xover data onto the raid array too, but if you
ever buy an extra
local disk move the xover data onto it, but it 'should' be ok on the raid
array.
