Mike,
When you look at the "Shares" page you should see a small double-drive icon with the name of your volume group next to it. Below that and slightly indented you should see a single-drive icon with the name of your volume next to it. The volume itself cannot be shared. If you click the volume you will be given the opportunity to create a folder. Once you've created the folder you should see a small folder icon below your volume and slightly indented with the folder name next to it. If you click that folder name you will be given a series of options, one of which is the option to make that folder a share. If you click the "Make Share" button you will automatically be taken to the "Edit Shares" page for that share. If you need to return to the "Edit Shares" page after you've left, clicking the link for the share name on the "Shares" page will bring you there. Oh, and please make sure you are responding to the list and not to just me. Jason Litka | Xoxide, Inc.

The flow of the GUI is starting to become clearer. I do have a question about NFS setup as well. I had to configure the /etc/exports file by hand. How is that share configured in 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.
