Installed LVM on my work-station years ago to allow my paritions to grow as needed, but I have not had to use that feature. LVM has been rock stable otherwise. I hit a small problem in the boot scripts (already fixed, I think), otherwise the upgrade from lvm1 to 2 just worked. If you look at LVM, then you should also take a look at the MD and EVMS as well, but I am not sure that these make that much sense when you have a raid controller already. LVM and EVMS support snapshots which is an interesting (partial) backups solution. /Allan -- Allan Wind P.O. Box 2022 Woburn, MA 01888-0022 USA
