That's a nice trick, I like that. Why are you trying to back the in use volumes up at a raw device level and not at the file system level. Mount them - take a look at what's on them/size of them, back them up and unmount them Matt -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
