LVM has some serious risk involved. Let us assume that in any give day you have a 1 in 3,000 chance of a drive failure. Now assume LVM is in use, and the LVM is made up of 3 drives. You now have 3 in 3000 chance of failure, and any single failure may take out your entire file system, since you can never predict where a file or portions of a file will reside. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
