It was not alone a question of size, but also a question about performance. If
I could split up my database on table level, I could ballance the performace
between offen used tabels.

Ok, it would also be nice to be able to have somehow large tables, and even
swap these in and out too (for backup). But I think this is a little to much
to ask for  :-)

But thanks anyway, I am looking at software RAID anyway, so I'll just continue
in this track.
