Cache is required for speed - tools can be very slow without it. Backup/archive are for recovery purposes - if you lose access to a separate /var partition you might need the files in those directories to regain access to it. Similarly if you have your root filesystem on lvm2, you really ought to place a copy of the metadata backups for the volume group holding your root filesystem in /boot. This doesn't happen automatically yet, but I expect it'll get added after the first disaster report that could have been averted with this... You can specify the file locations in lvm.conf (or by patching at compile time of course). Alasdair -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
