LVM isn't a filesystem. It is a mechanism for dynamically allocating space. You put filesystems on logical volumes. You can put ext2/3, reiser, swap, et al on a logical volume. To do resizing, the FS also has to support resizing. Heck I was just doing some experiments last night using logical volumes as components of Linux software RAID arrays. Yes, it's sick, but that just shows you how powerful this thing is. > So yeah, i'd be into a FS comparision/ LVM talk. +1 -- Kevin Otte, N8VNR [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nivex.net/ -=- "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -- George Santayana "It seems no one reads Santayana anymore." -- Cdr.
