If I have a hot-pluggable device (SD card, USB drive, hot-plug SATA/SAS drive and rack, etc.), can I put LVM on it such that when the device is connected to a Debian system with a graphical desktop (I use Xfce) an icon is displayed on the desktop that I can interact with to display the file systems in my file manager (Thunar)?In the past: definitely not. Currently: no idea. I suspect not, because I think the behavior on disconnection is still poor (you want to be extra careful to deactivate all the volumes on the drive *before* removing it, otherwise they tend to linger "for ever"). I guess that's one area where partitions are still significantly better than LVM. Stefan "who doesn't use much hot-plugging of mass storage"
Thank you for the clarification. :-) David
