A very worthy suggestion thank you, though I have no idea of the capacity of this particular server - I believe it currently has a 12 x 1Gb drive 10 RAID array. Still doesn't overcome the issue with 'local' storage for backups (if you aren't fully aware of the issues with lvm-thin) I still think that for at least single server installs lvm-thin is not necessarily the best default option, and there should possibly be more warning for some to RTFM before hitting go for a default install. (Note this was not my server and I was not involved in the setup - I was just asked to look in later when the damage was already done ! On my own servers I had purposely chosen not to use lvm-thin after reading about it) I did notice a number of posts in the forums where people were struggling with similar issues, so clearly I'm not alone in these thoughts. Many thanks for all your suggestions and a great product nonetheless (and I am a paying supporter :-) ) B. Rgds John
