Adding backup storage

[gene heskett <gheskett@shentel.net>]

I've an asus mobo with 6 sata ports, 5 are busy.

I also have another 6 port with 4 ports tied up serving a raid 10 for 
/home.  That leaves 2 ports empty on that controller.

I have a handful of 2T SSD's. If I can find another 4 pin empty pigtail 
on the psu, I'll plug 2 of these 2T's into that aux controller,

What doc should I follow to bring these 2 drives into one volume managed 
partition for amanda's use as a vtape device? I'd assume the volume 
management works by now, but it was a data losing disaster 15+ years ago 
when I last tried it.

I could, since amanda is quite versatile, set it up as two separate 
vtape drives.  So I'm open to a pro/con discussion.  Thanks all.

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
