And if I use Logical Volume Manager? I use EVMS in my linux system, http://evms.sourceforge.net/. EVMS is like LVM. I have 3 scsi disks seen as a single storage volume. Thanks to EVMS, or LVM, I can expand dinamically single directories when necessary. I think that using LVM for all the 3 scsi disks I can't have the performance as using single disks. Isn't it? Sorry for my english.
