hmm yes but still it's not very efficient use of disk space. I'm going to solve my problem by using lvm and doing a raid0 of all the disks. I do have a rather low upper limit of storage usage that wi

That would be very, very, very unwise. With a RAID0 of N disks, you have zero redundancy, you are N times more likely to suffer a drive failure on the array than you are with a single disk, and a fai

That was useful I have not had the time to do any testing but I do see a few issues. What if the disks is of different size ?? The numbers of slots (there is one volume per slot) is globally defined.

You have to work around that. I actually have 2 different sized disks in my setup at home. I believe I tricked vchanger by changing the # of volumes when I added the larger disk. So my smaller disk
That is correct. A "variable number of slots per disk" feature is planned for the next release. -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)! Finally, a world-class log mana

That would work fine. Now If I add a drive do I only have to add one more to magazine_bays and add a magazine to vchanger config or is there some more planning that is needed? Also if one of my disks
