i guess u can get that information from manual. the hardware probably can grow the size dynamically. but it might still depends on host to grow the fs. linux seems can not handle the read_capacity data changed msg from san. so probably u will need to grow it, reconnect from linux, find the changed size, then run fs tools to grow it. still, check manual is the way to go. ming On Thu, 2006-02-02 at 22:08 +0100, Javier de Miguel Rodríguez wrote: > Hello > > I have been successfully using LVM on RedHat Linux Server with no > hassle.
