For example, a web server could be expected to have mostly reads > with only a few writes. i was planning to strip only www and ftp partitions (and /usr/src but that's something i can easily recover) and since the information specially on the ftp partition will be something i cannot afford to lose, i was thinking is there a safe way... now, you say it's possible, if it's not too difficult to do, where should i start? i dont think i need complete walkthru, just hint where to start looking for information... mickey -- mika@aeon.net mika ruohotie
