Everything which splits the data across disks will not work. With software RAID you can operate on disks, slices, partitions, etc. no limits here. I'd suggest creating small RAID1 on top of small partitions for the root file system (or at least for /boot/ directory, which is minimum). -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
