In fact, I would *recommend* that you do this. There are a number of reasons. - if the main disk fails, you can recover information off the backups to re-set it up. - if the backup disk fails, you can easily rebuild it with new information once the disk is replaced. - if you need to expand it to encompass more space, and you set it up with LVM, you can easily unmount the filesystem, expand it, check it, and re-mount it. - if you want to re-install your OS, you can do that without losing your data. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
