The name rules look to be the largely the same for VGs and LVs: Allowable characters are: alphanumerics and . _ - + The name must not start with a hyphen and LV names must not start "snapshot". Tha maximum name length is 128 characters. This is for LVM2, I think it's similar for LVM1 but I'll check if you need to know specifically. -- patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
