I know that I've heard about this in the past, but don't recall the exact
name. It is possible to combine two separate partitions into one larger
'virtual' partition right ? So, if I had the following:
/photos
/free
How could I get /free to be an extension of /photos so that the space from
/free becomes available under the /photos partition ?
Any help/pointers much appreciated.
Regards,
