Okay. Hmmm no. I still say that you're wrong. A single failure is
statistic

Edward,
If you were thinking that RAID-0 would give you anything other than
a larger single file system
(like ANY redundancy), you were wrong.
There are still reasons for using RAID-0, but you apparently did not
have a reason. Sorry you
had to learn about the reasons for various RAID levels.

(I'll say it the nice way)
How you conclude "don't buy hitachi" from
The device has a 1T of disk space. I decided to create a directory
/DataVolume/var, use rsync to fill it up with what was in /var, mv
/var to /var.orig, then symbolically link /var to /DataVolume/var. The
system rebooted so I didn't break anything. I moved /var.orig to
/DataVolume.

I'm retiring from full-time teaching CS courses at Bentley for the past 32

To find the biggest files automatically:

-a == list all files
-x == only look at one filesystem
sort -n -r /DataVolume/foo > /DataVolume/bar

Most of us have been in the business for some time now and know, wuite
well, the does and don'ts of technology. As we all know, sometimes you do
things that you think will "be ok." "It won't happen to me." etc. I set up

Well, I got burned. I hav
I've got a WD MyBook at work. I am surprised that /DataVolume is not
RAID, but based on my experience, MyBook uses Busybox. I added some
software from optware. In any case, you will need to manually drill down
the root files system /dev/md1 and try to find out where the larger
files are and manuall
