Bruno / Kern: I agree with his statement. The documentation is misleading about this. I figured out quickly enough what was required, but it could be improved. Perhaps even better than fixing the documentation would be to fix the logic to agree with this. I think it would be nice to not limit the volumes, but have them recycle properly based on retention levels. This would allow you to adjust rentention levels without sitting down with a flowchart tool to figure out how you need to change the maximum volumes... (or at least set maximum volumes to a number much larger than expected and not work about it actually reaching it without a major problem...) -- Jo Rhett senior geek SVcolo : Silicon Valley Colocation ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
