Even more, raw has only 1 basic advantage: max space and speed. But LVM seems to have little enough overhead that all its advantages become predominate in my mind. I never use raw anymore, regardless of size. I am too much in love with things like vgextend, vgreduce, ... that allow easy adjustments as the environmental needs change. I am even using it as a SOHO cheap, fast backup and "instant recover" vehicle. A little more dev and I'm done (for *my* needs). > > /Peter > <snip sig stuff> -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
