I realize you describe a past setup, but as a fun tip, you could have used md RAID0 for this: with different sized devices it would automatically stripe the first 1TB of both disks, and then continue with the tail of 2TB drive as-is. This would provide some linear speed benefit for the most part of the device, with no change in reliability in this scheme compared to md linear. -- With respect, Roman
