I don't think this is really a backuppc issue, but anyway: First of all, read http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html Then, you can add the physycal volume and create a logical volume (backuppc) on it. At the end you can add something like this to your /etc/fstab /dev/vg/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc ext3 defaults 0 0 Maybe a symlink to the mount point would also work. Eduardo. PD: You don't have to use lvm for backuppc (you could change the fstab line above to use directly the device). But I think it's a good idea to have backuppc put its files on lvm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
