I'm planning to add a drive to my file server share but I wonder if it will be too slow? Here's my setup sda2 - root (everything except /home) hde2 - /home sda3 - unused (14GB) using Samba to provide fill access to network clients My plan is to assign sda3 under the /home directory for network file access. Specifically, I'd like to assign it to my private share. /home(hde2)/foo(sda3) While I haven't tried it yet, I'm assuming it should work. Also, I can still keep my Samba assignments simple (currently I just have public and the generic "home" shares). HOWEVER, will the system be accessing both hde2 (for /home) and sda3 (for /home/foo) for every file access? Or will it know where /home/foo is and directly access sda3 without traversing first to /home (hde2)? -- Doug
