This is what LVM is for (among other things). If you can run a 2.4 kernel you might be able to do it. I don't know about having root on a logical volume under linux. We did it with hpux years ago. It will depend on boot support. Get the kernel source and read the docs... jim > > Thank you, > Ry > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
