Yes. We've been using LVM for years with 9x200GB drives. > I have several 250GB drives I am thinking of using for > backup but administering the assignment of data to > drives would be a headache.

By creating logical volumes in each of the three volume groups we ensure that a single or double drive failure doesn't wipe out all three backups of any system. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
