With a "raid" controller, you probably could. Otherwise, the problem is that the boot drive has to be seen by the BIOS, so you can't stripe the OS partitions accross drives in a purely Linux software solution.
3.6 gig is perfectly adequate for a Redhat install as long as you excercise restraint during the install. You probably won't want to install everything. Drives are getting so cheap nowadays that the major reason to support small drives (for just an individual user) is to prove that you can, or just to use the drives that are perfectly good, if small. (I have a couple 4 gig SCSI drives that I insist on using for this very reason. Since I also have a 100gig /home disk in the computer, lack of disk space isn't a reason). Obviously, there can be times when you just HAVE to support smaller hard drives. Such as if you have to provide install images for thousands of computers with 500MB hard drives that there isn't money to upgrade :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of James Pifer Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 6:10 PM To: redhat Subject: Set of small drives? I searched the archive and didn't find my answer. Is it possibly to install RH 7.x on a set of smaller drives, like three 1.2 gig drives, instead of one larger drive? I think I remember seeing in the install that you could specify certain drivers or partitions as certain mount points. If this is the only way to do it, what would be the recommended way of splitting the mount points? Are there a couple that take up a lot of space that could go on their own partition, like /usr and/or /bin? I don't suppose there any way to have RH look at all three drives as one drive? Somewhat like RAID, but without redundancy. This obviously opens yourself up for a complete failure if one drive goes, but honestly I'm not concerned about that.
