Remember that a logical volume is made of chunks of the volume group--and those chunks could be on different physical volumes. lvm stitches them together. Since parted doesn't talk to the LVM layer, it can't see the filesystem. I hope that explains it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Careful!
