Try this instead: mke2fs -j -T largefile -m 0 /dev/Volume000/videos mkdir /videos mount -t ext3 /dev/Volume00/videos /videos This mounts the /dev/Volume00/videos lv onto the location /videos. You can mount it anywhere you like, of course. Now you can write your files under /videos. l _______________________________________________ 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/
