I think, he wants to have an extendable partition; just increasing it
when it is needed and therefore a LVM seems to be best.
Important filesystems should be regulary backed up to prevent data loss.

What's LVM (I'm new to this list)? I'm considering Linear or RAID-0; is LVM
an alternative and where can I get more info, please?

Martin Bene had a patch for this. It adds a an option to mark a disk
in /etc/raidtab as failed, so that you can start the array in
degraded state.
Careful - My patch was designed for the redundant raid types 1/4/5, I don't

do not use raid0 for part of your fs. i ONLY use raid0 for news spools.
raid0 DOUBLES (at least) the chances of total fs loss. buy a bigger disk.

Hmm. I've run a 5 drive hardware RAID0 on my multi boot workstation for years

Neither does a single drive. (Nor does RAID1/5 if two drives fail.)

I fail to see your logic.

Can this be done? I have a machine that I may want to later expend using
linear mode expansion, but right now I on;y have one slice I'd like to
use. Can linear mode be initiated with only one drive at the present
