It's for personal use, so I don't have that budget - if I did, then I wouldn't be scrounging for recovery space in the first place :-) So it seems, unless the data on the partition is without value, or you can afford enough disks to setup mirroring, I'd be better off just paritioning the two disks sepeartely and using a sym link farm! Damn, I was looking forward to playing with LVM.
