This appears to be a bad design to you because you are thinking in terms of high-level file I/O. And yes, I agree: it is very inefficient from the perspective of the high-level file system. So don't do that. Treat LVM volumes as simple block devices like I described. If you won't do that then I can't help you. --Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
