I would like to thank everyone who replyed to my question
about the best setup for a news server.  All of your input
was most valuable.  This is a great forum!

I try not to post any questions in this list unless I can't 
find the answers from the archives from this list.

My question is, how do I span the news over multiple disks.

I have seen some answers to this but it was a little to tech. 
for me to get a good understanding where to start.  If someone
could shed some light on this I would once again be very grateful.

Examples would also be helpful, if possible.
