[ale] INN server

[Russell Enderby]

I am aware of the symbol links but if INN uses say one file for large groups and I
wanted that particular file to be shared over various drives.  Thats the issue I am
looking at.

Since a news server that I am looking at will be close to 1 terrabyte of storage.
Lets say I had 15-75 Gig HD's in it, I would like the app to be able to use all 15
drives like it was one big one.  As some groups can be 100 gigs of storage alone
causing that particular group to flow into two drives.

The multiple device driver I have not used.  Is there alot of folks using this?

Thanks,
Russell
