A LVM volume is just a block device so you can put any filesystem on there that you want. However, since one of the benefits of LVM is that the volume can be resized, you may want to limit yourself to filesystems can be easily resized. Ext2/3 can be resized but the filesystem has to be unmounted and fscked so it can't be done without downtime. I seem to recall that you can only grow XFS, but you don't have to unmount it to do so. Reiserfs can grow and shrink, but again it has to be unmounted to do so. All that is mostly from memory so YMMV. -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.rudedog.org/ UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL-Postfix signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

To the file system, LVM logical volumes look like normal block devices, e.g. partitions. You can use any file system on them that you want to use. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
