I have three large hard drives - I is perfect and the other two well not sure. My question is: If I go into Mount Points and go to each hard drive and choose the partition size and define it what should they be ? /var another /home ..... just what I'm not sure. I have all this space and it's not showing up usable. Do I need a swap file on all three hard drives? > > Also do I need a swap on all three drives? > > > > I have gone thru all my books and the net and nothing really talks > > about multiple hard drives. > > > > I'm really confused now on what to do. > > Thanks for all your help in advance, > > bj SNIP Hoyt, Are you using the DiskDrake tool to do this?
