Granted what I stated didn't precisely cover all the various possibilities of partitioning with or without LVM and therefore lacked the precision that you hold so dear. Thankfully, I have a sense of humor but not everyone enjoys having their posts picked apart for what appears to only be petty corrections to their imprecision...you should keep that in mind. Craig
