Well, yes, but supposing you *do* have a failure? Then what? Half the filesystem is still there on the second disk, is it recoverable, and if not, why not? I'm getting the impression that spanning volume groups with a logical volume is a *very* bad idea unless the physical volumes are RAID. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
