True enough, but I have yet to find anyone who doesn't fully utilize the PVs to begin with. (Now I'm the one doing the assuming.) I'm sure there are folks who do -- and probably for this very reason -- but there aren't very many.
Yes, I was referring to LVM and to EXT file systems. The way things stand right now, I wouldn't touch Reiserfs with a 3.2m pole, and I don't know much about xfs and zfs systems. Jon <snip> Assuming you refer to the use of LVM - yes its dangerous to assume I know ;-) Filesystems live in LVs and LVs in VGs which are made up from PVs(=Disks) 1) It is the LV that is stripped and not the Filesystem. 2) A stripped LV can be expanded providing it uses the same PVs in its VG. (This implies you did not fully utilize the PVs to begin with of course! and that is the real catch.) 3) A Filesystem can be dynamically extended providing there is room in the LV. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
