Hi Owen, You don't need to worry about pointing MySQL to the secondary drive as the database itself is very small. I have a library of over 2000 carts and backup file I made yesterday could fit on a floppy disk. What you need is to link the folder where all the .wav files are (/var/snd/) to your second drive. Luckily this is pretty simple in Linux using symbolic links.
1. Move the /var/snd folder to your secondary drive. On the command line type "sudo mv /var/snd /path/to/other/drive/snd" 2. Create a symbolic link. "sudo ln -s /path/to/other/drive/snd /var/snd" I've done it before with Rivendell and I do it a lot with my Linux systems (especially my Steam library!). Hope this helps, I suggest you Google any terms I used that are new to you just so you understand a little more about how they work.
