I am curious which filesystem you prefer with LVM 1 since you are the "The LVM Guy" =) ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca _______________________________________________ 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/
