Another possible option is LVM (Logical Volume Manager). Quoting from
the LVM Homepage at http://linux.msede.com/lvm/index.htm, "The LVM
adds an additional layer between the physical devices and the block
I/O interface in the kernel to allow a logical view on storage. Unlike
current partition schemes where disks are divided into fixed-sized
continous paritions, LVM allows the user to consider disks, also known
as physical volumes, as a pool (or volume) of data storage, consisting
of equal-sized extents."
This means that you can use several disks as a pool of data and that
it will be easy to re-size these partitions.
There's also a small tutorial by Moshe Bar at byte.com at
