Say I have an 8 gig and a 13 gig drive. I mount /usr on the 8 gig, along with /, /var, /tmp, etc. I then mount /home on the 13 gig drive. How are files handled if I write into /home? Is based upon which drive has the most free room? Or does it try to fill up the 8 gig drive first? Assuming these are IDE drives, does it matter which controller and position they're in (slave/mater.) Thanks in advance!
