Probably safest/easiest, I agree. Depends on the fate of that system though... if it's fubar, you might need to swap disks, in which case take care (and backups!). > > This brings me to a further question, sorry! NP > Can a LVM virtual drive be mounted by NFS? Not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean "export (share) a filesystem that's on an LVM virtual drive to another machine", or "add a remote NFS share into an LVM volume"? The former - yes, definitely. Once it's mounted, it's identical to any other filesystem. The latter - I'm not certain, but it seems very unlikely. If you meant something else entirely, you need to do a bit more explaining. Maybe an example would help me understand. Cofion, Neil. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
