I'd do something like this: da0 - 120GB disk da1 - 120GB disk da2 - 300GB disk da2a - 240GB partition da2d - 60GB partition concat( stripe( concat(da0, da1), da2a ), da2d) In other words: # gconcat C0 da0 da1 # gstripe S0 concat/C0 da2a # gconcat C1 stripe/S0 da2d # newfs -U /dev/concat/C1 This way you have 240GB in stripe and only 60GB without stripe (so slower). Yes, you can do this with GEOM:) --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
