I'll sure do :)

Yep , it is more complex than what i want.

That's not really a big problem. Both 1.75TB volumes, are iscsi targets,
from a HP-Sma unit (12x750GB disks, Raid 5).
Initially we disliked the idea of such a big partition.
Do you think a 3.5TB partition won't have mayor problems dealing with
backups files from backula ?
(it is using ext3 now)
