As the others have pointed out - that doesn't seem likely. A drive is just a bit bucket that doesn't grok it's own contents. However, let's say for the sake of argument you don't want to have any files over 4 gig. Why not shrink the existing partition and create a series of 4 gig partitions, then use them for physical volumes in LVM. Much simpler than getting loop devices in there etc. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
