Marketing briefs suggesting things without explicitly saying so are generally not to be taken at face value. Unless and until someone either finds an explicit statement by M$ to that effect or testifies having actually tried that, I will remain skeptical. > with lvm you would lose any lv that has blocks on that drive Not necessarily, although recovery of a partially lost lv is rather painful. And of course raid/mirroring helps - with software raid as well as with lvm mirroring you can do it even with disks of different sizes. -- Tapani Tarvainen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
