<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry if this is a dumb question.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have (maybe) a requirement to create a single big
(a few Tb) "virtual disk".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This will be, for various reasons, based around
outboard FireWire2 hard disks, possibly using 1.6Tb drives, but more likely
using 1Tb drives.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The question is one of disk management.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the past, when I've had multiple physical disk
drives on a server, I've given each a mount point. What I'm really after is
something that functions as a hot-configurable controller, so that I can add
extra drives to the pool, and have them function as if they were a single
drive....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Possible? Easy? Pointers?</FONT></DIV>
