I dont think that this is really the problem -- ie that it couldn't be made to span several disks -- the real problem is that nobody (including me, despite my complaints) is itchy enough to scratch and actually do the work required. ie 'nobody has submitted patches to make it work'. I for one have decided that this is something I dont want to spend my time working on. Fred -- Fred Clift - fclift@verio.net -- Remember: If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough.
