I would guess it would be an advantage only if you were planning on copying/moving the LV to another system that only supported LVM1.

I need to add a new group for db backups. This is my frist time in doing this. I went into yast adn went to add but a question popped up that I was very unsure of. It asked "use old lvm1 compatible metadata format" . I don't think I really want this option. What is the advantage in using an old format?? thanks Mace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
