It sounds like what you did is create the RAID array, then create one big
filesystem on the array. If you'd created 3 distinct filesystems on the
array, you could have mounted each of them under /home, /opt, and /pub,
directly.

Mike,
On my system, /home, /pub and sometimes /opt grew to very large sizes for
rather modest periods of time. I wanted them to reside in a single big
filesystem to allow for any of them to grow relatively large and then shrink
back down to size -- assuming that in the aggregate, the three filesystems
would always fit on the array. I used to maintain each of these filesystems
on its own 9 gig disk. Sometimes, one of them would grow to the capacity of
its host disk at a point in time when there was ample space on the others.
If I created three distince filesystems on the array then wouldn't I lose
this behavior?
