On a related issue, is it possible to combine several drives/partitions into one logical Linux file system?
In other words, if I have 3 hard drives, I might want to use one partition on hda for /boot, another partition on hdb for /swap, and use all remaining space on all other drives/partitions as the root fs. Windows 2000 can do something similar, can Linux do this?
You can configure software RAID either during installation (ask to perform a custom disk layout), or afterwards utilizing the utilities in the "raidtools" package on unused partitions.
