Answers to all your questions: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html Incidentally, I don't know why you'd "blow away" your system just to do an upgrade. Obviously, if you do that, you're going to be reinstalling everything anyway. Oh, one other thing: snapshots don't work without a kernel patch. This is a relatively minor thing unless you're running a server on which you can't schedule regular downtime. If you can live without snapshotting (e.g. going to single user mode to back up some filesystems), then it is fine. Personally, I reworked an older VFS locking patch and patched 2.4.22 so I can do snapshots. -- ....................paul "The average lifespan of a Web page today is 100 days.
