How to utilize 2 hdds for 1 account name
hi, i just had my 1 account (account1) filled up my 160 hardisk (/home). i have added another 250 hard disk that is to be used by the same account (/home2). if i start uploading files, will those files automatically go to the other hard disk? in effect, account1 will be using both /home and /home2

you might be able to use mount -o bind, to give the user a dedicated 250GB for their home directory.

one variant - create folder in you /home directory and use mount for mounting this subfolder on hard disk. Example:
create subfolder:
>mkdir /home/acount
Mount you hard drive to /home/acount
> mount /dev/hdb1 /home/account
I dont know as you disk is connect. Maybe /dev/hdb1

i tried doing the symlink so that:
/home/folder -> home2/folder
now the problem is, when i upload a file using ftp in /home/folder, i get error "550 Rename/move failure: Invalid cross-device link"
