They're on RAID partitions now, but all of those are extended. Before I added the second drive, they were directly on extended partitions. I never use primary partitions on Linux-only boxes, I don't see the point is adding another limitation. It was sda5 - /boot sda6 - swap sda7 - / sda8 - LVM If you're concerned that you may need non-LVM space later, leave a gap between 7 and 8. That way you have the choice later of extending / or adding another partition and adding it to LVM. -- Neil Bothwick Q. How many mice does it take to screw in a light bulb? A.
