Not an overriding argument, but I've found the inverse to be the case in imaging scenarios. It's simple to backup/restore /dev/sdax from a partition image, /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVolxx not so much. OTOH you can snapshot LVMs without having to unmount them. But I'm a dinosaur with an IS degree from 30 years ago, and my mind just wraps around physical partition scenarios better. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
