As i don't think the database will grow more that 2G in the next year I'm thinking in doing mirroring and striping on them (as some other poster suggested), and use the IDE as a back-up boot solution in case of something goes wrong with them and sync it manually at the end of the day. If I'll have the time to test I'll try to use all 3 with vinum. IOnut To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
