I understand that, but what I don not understant yet is the "Often we can't extend the end of the partition" I am completly new to SAN technologies, so, for me, the EMC SAN is like a black box where I can create the LUN but I do not know how it is create _insigth_ the SAN so I do not know if I have close neighbors :-) that avoid me grow the LUN If I can't grow a LUN because the neighbors are too close, the LVM is the way to go :-) can you share some of your experience with that ? thanks roger __________________________________________ RedHat Certified Engineer ( RHCE ) Cisco Certified Network Associate ( CCNA ) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
