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?

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! Toddhelp
