Also makes management much more practical. I might agree if it was a RAID array. But with ccd, no way. Your reliability just won't be there. As far as the management thing goes, I agree, but then, I have never really had a problem breaking things up into !*,alt.binaries.* !*,alt.*,!alt.binaries.* *,!alt.* I've actually found it easier to administer, but that's just my opinion. I still optimize transactions nicely across the disks. :-) ...
