How to make linux treat two Harddrives as one? (without RAID)

Arodef · 11-30-2004, 12:56 PM

I would like the / mount point to use both hard drives drives (two identical 160GB drives) in my computer. I know RAID0 would work for this purpose but are there any other alternatives? Ideally I would like the system to write to the first disk then when the first disk is full write to the second disk. Thanks for any help.

LVM would probably be the most logical choice.

Thanks. Do you know how LVM determines what physical drive to fill up first before going to the next drive?
