You've split your reply to my mail across three different emails and now you're replying to a part about redundancy, but asking questions about something completely different, all while referring to bits that are not proximal to where your text is, so it's unclear to me exactly what you are asking about. You asked if "labels" would survive their associated partition being put into LVM. I said, "yes if you mean partition names, no if you mean filesystem labels". To my implied question about your redundancy plans (if any), you then complain that I have not given you "a syllable about how to do it". Do *what*? I don't yet know what your plans are in that regard. If you have questions, ask them. Regards, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
