And even if it is possible, LVM2 installation guide says it is not recommended, so I will not try it... One more thing I'm interested in: what impact does lvm2 have on disk i/o, compared to "common" partitions? Probably lvm2 will make disk operations a little slower, but how much? Or does it cause higher cpu-load too? Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
