HD hardware interfaces do not know where files begin and end.[1] You *might* be using a filesystem that limits you to 4Gb. If so, LVM won't buy you anything and you'll have to switch filesystems. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ [1] How could they? Each filesystem stores files differently. Also, mdadm and LVM between the physical drives and the filesystem would change that.
