It sounds like you've never heard of volume management. You can already split the load of a single filesystem across multiple devices, in pretty much every single modern operating system. Filesystem gets full, you can add more volumes and grow the filesystem. This is not difficult, and not a problem that needs solving. If this is a limitation of the OS you want to put BackupPC on, then you need to choose a different OS. -- Jim Leonard (trix...@oldskool.org) http://www.oldskool.org/ Help our electronic games project: http://www.mobygames.com/ Or check out some trippy MindCandy at http://www.mindcandydvd.com/ A child borne of the home computer wars: http://trixter.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
