Really? Oh that just may start something. I could easily setup two drives and use LVM on them. I just didn't know that it would work. One added benefit, they are encrypted with cryptsetup which puts everything on top of LVM. So, the data isn't available until I type in the password and then mount it. It doesn't try to mount automatically or anything because of that. Oh, this could be the start of something. > > Cheers, > Wol > > Dale :-) :-)
