Makes perfect sense to me as well. Having installed LVM - and then removed it due to issues; namely, the fact that one of the hard drives died taking out the whole LVM group, leaving the OS unbootable, and not easily fixable. There was a thread on that (started by me) a while back (over a year). So, perhaps if I had a RAID to underly so I could mirror drives under LVM for recovery I'd move to it again. But otherwise it is just a PITA waiting to happen. Ben
