Linux partitioning on 2 disks

[err]

Hi,

would it be possible to setup 2 different disk-drives to get one big /Home partition ?

I have 2 10 GB Drives

If I put /home in the first drive, does it means that I can't have /home in the second drive?
So what do I create if I can't have /home in the second drive ?

Thanks for the input.

Linux's built in LVM (ala just like HP/UX LVM) can build a filesystem that spans or stripes multiple disks.

or you could just use the Linux built-in software raid to raid together 2 partitions (one from each disk) into a raid 0 stripe set, and you can put your /home on there..
