My server has LVM I never got my head around understanding it . The CC OS actually insist on creating a LVM automagically urgh, so therefore I added the large drives later . If I do use LVM next server rebuild can I still achieve my goal of being able to rip out one of the drives and mount it elsewhere without problems. If a need to do just that arises, for example just move a large drive to a new server chassis. I Could manage with symlinks as I do not add drives often In fact with if we are talking only music I can still cram in 3 times the files i already have and that would take me a long time to get there ,several years. On the other-hand if I expand it to a media server with movies I foresee rapid growth ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
