Hi I was wondering why in the docs and examples the GFS filesystem is build on top of a lv "partition" ? I can understand that if I build the GFS in a direct scsi attached storage because is not easy to grow the "device" without destroy the data but the same apply in an SAN enviroment? We have here a EMC SAN, where is relative easy to grow a LUN, so can we skip the LVM layer and build the GFS filesystem directly over the emcpower device ? there is any advantage of using LVM in this scenario? thanks in advance roger __________________________________________ RedHat Certified Engineer ( RHCE ) Cisco Certified Network Associate ( CCNA ) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
