Hi, I used CCD's extensively on my system... The bad news is that they can't be 'built on the fly', you will need to backup the data on your existing CCD - add the new drive, reformat - and restore the data... Greh Lehey is working on a replacement driver for CCD which may let you do this in the future, no doubt if he sees this message he'll reply as well ;-) The only other suggestion I can make is to add the new drive - and then setup some symlinks to the new drive for big directories - in the time honoured tradition of 'my drive is almost full up' style... ;-) (or mount the new drive under some big directory on the old drive if you get what I mean?)
