No argument there, at least on a group of drives where you want to have flexibility in the future. Desktop computers or system drives certainly. You didn't tell me what replaces the compression aspect of the problem but I'm sure there's something. It's a great strategy if you have the expertise and time to set it up and then manage it when a problem arises, if it ever arises. I'm just asking what's the purpose of doing LVM, or your suggested layering, specifically on a storage pool for a home user like Dale? That's the part I don't understand, especially for a new NAS user like Dale? Mark
