If raid controllers (AND LVM) can concatenate multiple drives or partitions into a logical drive, i don't see why the vbox engine could not do the same - present a drive to the guest OS which is a logical drive made up of a collection of vdi drives. Regards, JD [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

I think a member of the LVM team at any distro could probably take the concatenation driver portion out of LVM and port it into the VBOX engine. But alas, if vbox team is going to obviate this issue, then why bother? Cheers, JD Brian J. Murrell wrote: On Thu, 2008-03-20 at 08:29 -0700, JD
