I was wondering if anyone was aware of a way to create a 'virtual
folder' over multiple drives. My itunes folder is in excess of 170GB
(lossless compressed from my CD collection) and soon it will be larger
than the 200GB drive.
I am considering getting a 250GB drive, but I can see this will only
ultimately be an interim measure. If I could span over multiple drives
this would save much hassle. Currently I can't consolidate the
library. I tried relocating 50GB off the drive, but it still wouldn't
let me consolidate it.
Without actually having done this, you should be able to create a raid
array from multiple drives, then stick your iTunes folder on the new
raid volume. (And you get redundancy for free :-)
I'm not sure how much you know about how this works, but at a system
level you can combine multiple drives into one logical volume, that
shows up as one place to store stuff. This is what geeks with too much
time on their hands did when they created a raid array on floppy disks
and across several iPods.
