A LVM volume is just a block device so you can put any filesystem on there that you want. However, since one of the benefits of LVM is that the volume can be resized, you may want to limit yourself to filesystems can be easily resized. Ext2/3 can be resized but the filesystem has to be unmounted and fscked so it can't be done without downtime. I seem to recall that you can only grow XFS, but you don't have to unmount it to do so. Reiserfs can grow and shrink, but again it has to be unmounted to do so. All that is mostly from memory so YMMV. -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.rudedog.org/ UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL-Postfix
