Cool, thanks (also to the others who responded!)! > Other (better) ways you could do it: > > mount one partition under the other > make a symbolic link from one partition into the other > > Both of those are going to be simpler and more efficient than > RAIDing two partitions on the same disk. Efficiency as in performance is not an issue in this case - ease of use and best use of the available space are. Those partitions contain about 100 CDs worth og ogg vorbis, and the handling from within xmms would be greatly improved if all of them were in one large directory, especially with the twiddly mouse of the Libretto. On the other hand, a slight performance penalty will go unnoticed in this application. Hence, "better" is a relative term... ;-) Anyway, I'll give either LVM or RAID a try - I'll probably use whichever is easier to set up, as that's good enough for what I have in mind.
