Hm... Let's say I have 3 disks and 1 CDROM drive and two IDE channels. I want to upgrade one of the disks. So... without LVM, it's simple. I pull the CDROM, drop in the disk, partition, format, mount, and play with tar or rsync, modify fstab, pull the old disk, move the new disk, reconnect the CDROM, and bob's your uncle. With LVM, is it even simpler? -- Where are my bits, exactly? Stewart Stremler -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
