I'd be able to work on this server right now and add the second disk when it arrives without reinstalling everything. I'm not complaining or anything.. I know it's not a commom situation and I'm already looking for something that doesn't involve such hack (suck as waiting the second disk). It's late and I can't think about anything that would make my system installed on ad4 to become ar0 (ad4+ad6) without much work and another spare disk as a temporary storage. -- Giovanni P. Tirloni
