It's not like LVM is modelling the universe' operation on your CPU, but that's where impact should be, while disk activity (and data written) should be roughly the same, aside from possible fragmentation if you (re)create lv's on a daily basis, so prehaps it's not the disk but the cpu where's the real bottleneck is? -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
