It would also need to be fast. it should be huge, yes. fast, no, if i dont want to mirror all i am striping... or if i do the way i was planning... using 2 gig drives, and only _use_ the space of one disk i'm mirroring to... original question was, can i do it with freebsd? seems to me answer is no. mickey
