this can be done by applying raid. there is a linear mode in raid which concates two(many)partition(which can be on different harddisk. for linear mode-->
in /etc/raidtab you have to enter raiddev /dev/md0 raid level linear nr-raid-disks 2 chunksize 32 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/sdb1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdc5 raid-disk 1 now run mkraid /dev/md0 but before this u have to be sure that ur kernel support the raid. one more thing--this will destroy ur all data..so take the backup. i think there is some volume manager software that may prevent to loose ur date...i don't have any idea about this.. cheers jitendra agarwal --- Ashok Iyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a Red Hat Linux 7.3 machine working as a file > server with 36GB allocated for /home.
