why LVM? Planning on changing partition size later? LVM is good for (but not limited to) non-raid setups where you want one partition over a number of disks. If you have RAID 5 however, don't you just get one large disk out of it? In which case you could just create x partitions. You can always use parted to resize / move them later. IMHO recovery from tiny boot disks is easier without LVM too. -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> Failure is not an option -- it comes bundled with Windows.
