First Use of GEOM advice

[brad miele]

Thanks,

I had looked through this, and reading it through a second time made it a 
little clearer. What I don;t understand is how to prep the 60G drives, do 
i just create them as single partition ufs2? or do i have to segment them 
for these plex things.

really sorry for my densness about this.

Brad
