I saw a reference by Jordan that someone is working on striping disk drivers for FreeBSD, probably more than half a jear ago. Is this still true? A concat address? Is there some dead project to inherit :-) BTW, using a memory filesystem when swap space in seperated over several disks/controller would mean something similar, wouldn't it? When I write a file into a memfs that is based on multiple disks, can I assume that each disk will hold an eqal-sized fraction of the file at last? And what is the unit of continous bytes on each disk? Pages? Size of written block? Sorry for asking, I think that is the way swapspace should be allocated, but verifing what protion of a file ends up in what swapspace partition on a running system isn't really easy...
