Hey folks,

Here's something I'm wondering how people handle -- I have a couple of
18GB disks I'm striping together, mostly for the convenience of having one
largish contiguous playground to work in.  But I'm sorely disappointed at
the space I end up with -- Two big drives, with the default 8% reserved
free space, ends up being a lot.  What I end up with for these two ccd'd
drives is this:

%df /mnt
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ccd0c   34506495        1 31745975     0%    /mnt

That's a lot of space to lose.  I'm the sole user of this ccd, and it's
just for data and figures and paper-writing activities and data analysis
stuff -- any suggestions on how I should set this up to take advantage of
as much space as possible, without causing myself problems down the road?
I've seen various threads discussing this, but I don't think I understand
the issues well enough to make a very informed decision.

Thanks,

Brian
