A few months ago I hit this problem while building a RAID system for our group. We wanted to do software RAID-0 over three hardware RAID-5 arrays (2 by 375G and one 525G) and the kernel (2.4.6) had a hissy fit. Given the relatively low cost of disk space ($5000/terabyte and on up, see http://staff.sdsc.edu/its/terafile/), is this something that will be supported in the future? If you point me in the right direction I'd be willing to look at this issue. Thanks -Eric -- -------------------------------------------- Eric H.
