If software raid is not available,  then use LVM.  The following is a
software raid if you are interested:

In the /etc/raidtab

raiddev             /dev/md0
raid-level                  0
nr-raid-disks               4
persistent-superblock       1
nr-spare-disks              0
chunk-size                  4
    device          /dev/dasdj
    raid-disk           0
    device          /dev/dasdk
    raid-disk           1
    device          /dev/dasdl
    raid-disk           2
    device          /dev/dasdm
    raid-disk           3

I am aware that TurboLinux 6.5 is a relatively old platform, however I
would imagine that it should be able to accomodate large files.  I need to
know how a filesystem can be made to span more that one DASD to store a
file that is 10G or larger.  We have triple density DASD (3390-3), but
they only have a capacity of roughly 2.8G.  If there is a way to issue
mount or some other command that will allow a file to span DASD that would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
