It's a possibe performance penalty to lose MDC, so if just for a few disks saved by sharing, I would suggest you keep separate copies. If you share disks because you want to be able to run your Linux machines at will on either system, then that's another issue... -- Rob van der Heij rvdheij @ gmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
