Put the entire system on the first 4 gig drive. It will probably only use 400M unless you plan to install X. That isn't normal for a server. Create file systems on the other disks and mount them as /store0 and /store1 or whatever. You may not like putting anything on / but it makes sense. Then you can make directories in the /stores and use symbolic links to create the space you need when you need it. That's my idea. Others may have better ideas. Patrick
