Now, if the LVM implementation in Linux supported mirroring, that would be great. Perfect as replacement of md-raid1 and perfect for drive migrations where you don't have to move real live data, as you just move mirrors. And define /boot to always start in PE #1, and you could do away with partitions all together with an easy addition to grub. -- //Morten Torstensen //Email: morten at mortent.org //IM: Cartoon at jabber.no morten.torstensen at gmail.com And if it turns out that there is a God, I don't believe that he is evil.
