Re: [expert] Merging Partitions from Seperate Harddrives - Possible?
So this will let you merge existing partitions? I use this when setting up a computer - but did not know you could merge existing partitions. I guess I will have to do some reasearch. but on the other hand why do we need something like this in linux - just mount the second partition to the appropriate mount point. ( Windows 2000 - now lets you mount another share as a directory instead of a drive letter Kind of like mount points . ) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Sevatio Octavio wrote: > > > > Is it possible to merge partitions from separate disks so that they are view as >one partition? > > > > Seve > > Yes ... but first compile your kernel to support this feature.

I've never used it, but it's one of the kernel options, and the module is, per the kernel doc (from make xconfig), called linear.o. I fear that the linear.c file doesn't have into on how to use it, but hopefully this is enough to get you going down the right path. | Seve -- I am "Brian, the man from babble-on" (Brian T.

Is it possible to merge partitions from separate disks so that they are view as one partition? Seve
