Or, much more likely, change your partitioning scheme.

Don't think so. Not sure why you would need that many drives/partitions but
you might think about adding a new server.

Well I can think of a reason.
I've got the 29 disc set of "Art Explosion" (clipart).
Instead of having to insert disc "x" all the time I've ripped the ISO's to
my HD & then set up a heap of drives with Alcohol 120%......... Works
terrific & it's not wearing out my drives at all. I just leave the most
often used ones mounted all the time.
Not sure who said they had to be HD's or partitions?

I'm at 19 drives myself... only two physical drives and single partition on
each. The rest are network shares or folder redirects.

Wouldn't that work better if you simply dumped all the files into a single
directory someplace? These are just data files, right?

Yes, that would work probably better I guess. I am actually considering
doing that but doing it direct onto an external HD. That way I can quite
easily just lend it to a friend if I wish to. Not real sure if the USB will
be fast enough but I suspect it might only slow searches down slightly. It
will be about 19gig of data.
