I never used more than one PV on a single harddisk unless I decided to add a partition that I used for other stuff later on. I recommend partitioning the drive nonetheless even when its possible to put LVM directly on the complete harddisk. For booting I recommend an extra /boot partition anyway. ext3 for GRUB 1, may be ext4 for GRUB 2. While GRUB 2 should support LVM2 directly, I decided not to depend on that support. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
