I've made volumes up over 500GB on these, have resized volumes and filesystems, deleted volumes, etc. all with the machines live and have experienced absolutely no problems. This machine is running (approximately) one of the Red Hat 7.3 beta releases. I also have LVM on top of software RAID5 on top of an old 3w6800 card running in JBOD mode with 8 75GB IBM deathstars. It works fine when the disks are actually working (which is rarely). - J< _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
