Unix-derived systems don't have as much an issue as the features only crudely approximated by append and join are how things are done natively. Adding space to a filesystem just requires a mountpoint to "plug in" the new drive into the existing tree. If space is an issue, some creative use of symlinks can point a particularly full directory (or some subset of it) to an entirely new area on disk. Beyond that, drive arrays and volume management (see http://www.gweep.net/~sfoskett/linux/lvmlinux.html) offer far more sophisticated capabilities. - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
