Diskdrake has supported creating PVs, VGs and LVs for quite a few releases now but not creating / as an LV. As of the last release or two, I submitted enhancements to the installer to allow installation onto a root LV. Did you choose "Expert" installation, or choose the "Advanced" mode when you got into Diskdrake? You likely need to do that to see the LVM options. > (at least not installing to it - it did recognize what the partition > was, and even how full it was, but didn't give me any way to > select an individual logical volume within it.) Hmmm. I have not tried exactly what you are trying to do, but knowing what I do about Diskdrake, I can't see why what you are doing won't/wouldn't work. > I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC any replies to: > > clacour (at-sign) greyhound.com You sure do put up enough hoops one has to jump through to help you out don't you? If you want help with something the least you could do is make it easy and straightforward to provide it. b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
