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.
