Well, you might be able to get away with symlinks - it won't remove the dirs once it has created them, and I see no reason why it wouldn't follow them. But yeah, I was thinking in terms of LVM, over loopback if you can't repartition - but you can add individual partitions to LVM without adding whole disks, so I see no reason why you couldn't use LVM. > > I suppose running a second node on the same box would be possible, but it > seems inefficient. > > Jeff
