Is there any particular reason the default names > of volume groups are "VolGroupXX" instead of something simpler like > "vg00"? Ditto with logical volumes. I typically make the volume group match the hostname and the logical volumes match the filesystem (so the system "flea.hiwaay.net" has /dev/flea/usr, /dev/flea/tmp; / is /dev/flea/root). Making the volume group distinct is good if you have a need to move a drive from one system to another (having two VolGroup00 is NOT good), and naming the logical volumes sensible just makes it much easier to tell what is what. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
