Why would you need LVM for any FS? - Ability to easily resize partitions to meet changing needs. This applies to root as well (ever had to blow everything away because root needed to be larger for an upgrade?). - Ability to easily migrate to new storage. I haven't used this with Linux LVM, but I have migrated Tru64 AdvFS filesystems from one set of drives to another without having to shut down; combined with on-line filesystem resizing, you never need to shut down for storage maintenance again. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
