i'm fascinated that you use mirroring RAID as a matter of course, but consider LVM to be an advanced topic. in any event, part of the reason i would consider LVM standard these days is that if you take the default install configuration with SL6, you get LVM automatically. that's just part of my thinking. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
