The reason that ccd works fairly well is that the seeks to different disks are staggered not on a per-directory or a per-filesystem basis, but on a per-block basis ; each file has the potential to span multiple disks. To save the information on the first disk would imply that that data isn't being striped at the filesystem level, and wouldn't offer any major advantage over separate mount points. Then again, I may be being naive. -- Sean T. Lamont, President / Chief NetNerd, Abstract Software, Inc.
