Re: [BackupPC-users] Add NAS to LWM
If your nas supports ISCSI then you could carve your nas into luns and use them to expand your lvm volume. If your nas doesn't support ISCSI then I don't know of a way you can merge the two together. You must end up with a single filesystem as BackupPC uses hard links and these cannot span multiple filesystems.
