I really have no idea if it works, but have you tried to export your LVM volume via NFS and then mount it on your FreeBSD machine? All what FreeBSD will see is an NFS volume which we all know work very well. Just an idea, David --
Yeah, I'm sure that would work - I already export most of my data via NFS anyway - except that the machine I was going to try it on is the one with the LVM data, thus I can't export it as NFS from Linux whilst FreeBSD is running on the bare hardware (or can I?). Thanks anyway. (FYI, the other machine I *could* try it on is a laptop; I actually did intend to use FreeBSD as the primary OS on it at one point, but had zero luck with either of the wifi cards (one internal, one cardbus - the cardbus one is there because the internal one also refuses to work in Linux) in it. A laptop with no network access isn't much good to me! :-( ) Jeff Rollin -- Proud Linux user since 1998 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
