You're dealing with OS limitations, methinks. There is no limit as far as dsmfmt is concerned. However, I would most definitely *not* make my database one logical volume. You should spread it out among multiple spindles to increase throughput (the "not all of my eggs in one basket" philosophy). -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional Tivoli Storage Management Solutions 2005 Office 262.521.5627
