Mirroring would not solve your problem, I think you meant striping. >From your post it sounds like the secondary drive is mounted on a directory called /data on the first drive. I'm going to imagine you have /dev/hda1 for /, /dev/hda2 for swap and /dev/hdc1 is your second drive So your /etc/fstab might have something like these three entries (and some others, not relevant here) /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc1 /data ext3 defaults 1 1 Perhaps you can split your profiles by primary group: Change the profile path to something like /profiles/%g/ Make subdirectories to /profiles corresponding to group name. Mount the secondary drive on the subdirectory corresponding to the group who uses the largest amount of disk space. (don't forget to update /etc/fstab), and finally, move the other groups over to their proper directories on the primary drive.
