You don't need LVM either. You can use the whole raw disk. *BUT*, using LVM has some advantages, like being able to extend the volume group with new/other disks as needed. Unless there is some *severe* performance concerns related to LVM, I would go with that too, as Nicholas suggests. Just wanted you to know that you had the option of no partition and no lvm. BTW, if it is a bootable unit, you will probably want at lease one small partition or will need LVM. Raw partition will not suffice. > > <snip> HTH -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
