Distributing directory over multiple discs ?
Since one of my discs is filling up rather quickly (Say disc A ) while an other one stays quite empty (say disc B ) I would like to distribute the content of a directory on disc A over both A and B. I know I can simply move some of the files over to a sperate directory on disc B but is is possible to somehow merge the 2 ? So for example if I would do an ls in discA/dir I would also see the files that are stored on discB/an/other/dir ? And off-course if this is possible how can I acchieve something like that Regards, -- -Frank Staals ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, I do not want to try it on my system though... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
