Ian,
With a couple outside exceptions (such as online capacity expansion if you've got a HW RAID controller), pretty much everything is handled via the GUI. There is no need to use pvcreate, vgcreate, or any of the other LVM tools. Via the GUI you would need to create physical volumes on your disks then create a volume group and add those disks to it. From there you can use the "Add Volumes" screen to add ext3, XFS, and iSCSI volumes (2.2 has some other options that are no longer available in 2.3). Jason Litka | Xoxide, Inc.

I find myself configuring things by hand instead of using the GUI. I expected to be able to set everything up in the GUI and not go to the command line. For example, after initial install I have to go to the command line to use pvcreate and vgcreate. The GUI provided no way to do that. Another was the NFS configuration. It wouldn't let me configure anything about the NFS share. I had to go into /etc/exports and create the entry. I'm fine on the command line, but I don't want anything to get overwritten by some process from the GUI. On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 9:37 AM, Ian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You beat me to it by a second!

I'm not talking about the 90 dollar admin guide. Mike Nothing official, only findings of other users. Wouldnt the correct question be, isnt that typical for an open source project ;) _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
