how to have one smb share for two or more hard disks

How do you configure samba to have the same share but have two different physical disk partitions belonging to it.

I don't understand you? Same share but different partitions???
You can't - it would be insane.
But maybe you mean something else, please be a little more specific!

The only way I would know how to do that is to use some kind of disk manager to make them appear as one to the OS (as well as samba). There's one called LVM, I think, for linux.

brenan99 is right. You need to look into LVM (Linux Volume Management). What you want to do is a concept called disk spanning. Check out the LVM-HOWTO and the docs from the installed packages for more info.
