Suggesting the OP's problem is an example why LVM should not be used, is like saying dropped laptops is a good example why laptops shouldn't be used. A fair criticism is whether LVM should be used by default with single disk system installations. I've always been suspicious of this choice. (But now, even Apple does this on OS X by default, possibly as a prelude to making full volume encryption a default - their "LVM" equivalent implements encryption as an LV level attribute called logical volume family.) -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
