Using md linear eliminates the LVM physical extent size non power of 2 misalignment issue we discussed at length up thread. Using LVM makes things decidedly more difficult and for zero gain. LVM just isn't appropriate for Morgan's situation. Now, it's possible he could do this entirely in the RAID firmware. However he has not stated which storage product he has, and thus I don't know its capabilities, whether it can create or seamlessly expand a concatenation. Linux md can do all of this very easily and is deployed by many people in this exact scenario. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
