You don't mount each drive, you mount a virtual device called a concatted disk that has been told that these raw partitions are what create the logical partition. On an Auspex this is done with an /etc file, with 4.4BSD lite it is done in the kernel config file, with AAC's stripe driver it is done with an ioctl right now, but will use the /etc file very similiar to an Auspex once the user land commands are written for it. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
