I was able to get to them prior to the DBA using YAST2 to set up his LVM's and doing a format. Can I go back and reformat them? It seems as though the YAST2 setup and format of the LVM did something to them.

Be aware that if you want a consistent backup using FDR (and you do not have their Linux backup extension), the Linux guest MUST be shut down (not just idle, SHUT DOWN) before you do the backup, or you must do a LVM snapshot to get a consistent image. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
