Once you start pvmove running, LVM will not allocate any more space on the drive, so any files written to the LV will go on another drive. If you mean you want to write to it separately from LVM, of course you can, as long as you are using a different partition. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 007: System price error - Inadequate money spent on hardware
