I did run into a snag that I don't fully understand while trying to make the filesystem though...

# mke2fs -v -j -l 2TbVol /dev/VolGroup10/2TbVol

Were you trying to specify a label? If so, use the -L option, not -l

Were you trying to specify a bad block list? Why? I'd be VERY surprised if you need to do this.

So you either meant mke2fs -v -j /dev/VolGroup10/2TbVol OR mke2fs -v -j -L 2TbVol /dev/VolGroup10/2TbVol

---- duh...thanks :::blush:::

too many man pages ;-)

Thanks
