The problem with that is that I can't have any more than four SATA = devices in my machine. I'd have to detach one of the other (good) = devices in order to do that. Is that feasible / possible? I would = think at that point I would have only two of the four drives in the pool = and it wouldn't function at all, but if that's not the case I can give = it a try... > Are you planning on using the leftover space on the 500gb drive for > something else? If not, then don't bother partitioning it. Just give = the > whole device to the pool and it will only use 400gb of it. I am, probably. In the other 500GB drives I used the extra 100GB to = make another pool and provide a block device to play around with, so I'd = either add it to that or just make it a scratch filesystem. Thanks for your help! Todd=
