Good Afternoon Everyone,

I am going to set up Ubuntu Server as a simple file and print server. I have two 40gb hard drives that I will use for the box. After reading many of the posts on this forum, (which I must say, this community is AWESOME with helping newbs. N00bs, noobs, etc LOL), I cannot determine the answer to my following question:

I don't want to use RAID, as I think it will be overkill, but I want to have the most available space possible to /home. Is there a way to spread /home over two HDD's without using RAID?

Thank you for your help.

Yea it's possible but doesn't seem realistic.
