As I intend to use this as dedicated file/print/samba server on a mixed small office network, I thought it a good idea to dedicate one drive to /usr/home. I installed 4.5-Release as such with default settings for drive 0 and a single slice /usr/home on drive 1 (and swap on both).

Assuming both drives are mounted okay, and I don't know much about Samba -
especially if it "honors" or "comprehends" symbolic links, but you could
always do something like `ln -sf /dev/ad1s1e /dev/....` etc.

man ln

Hope this helps in no small way ;-)
