It sounds like what you did is create the RAID array, then create one big filesystem on the array. If you'd created 3 distinct filesystems on the array, you could have mounted each of them under /home, /opt, and /pub, directly. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Mike, On my system, /home, /pub and sometimes /opt grew to very large sizes for rather modest periods of time. I wanted them to reside in a single big filesystem to allow for any of them to grow relatively large and then shrink back down to size -- assuming that in the aggregate, the three filesystems would always fit on the array. I used to maintain each of these filesystems on its own 9 gig disk. Sometimes, one of them would grow to the capacity of its host disk at a point in time when there was ample space on the others. If I created three distince filesystems on the array then wouldn't I lose this behavior? -- Rich
