No, actually. This is just a staging server - we backup from production solaris and linux boxes to this one, then from the staging server to tape. So we did the easy thing to make sure we didn't run out of storage. Other than a 3 Gig root and a 1 gig swap, everything's in a single 464G LVM partition. Woo Hoo. Makes for an interesting df listing, rather startling to someone who doesn't know... > Having 4 devices vs 2 devices is a tough decision, more possibility > for individual failure, more power consumption vs. more and > flexibility. :) Indeed. With everything in a large LVM, the MTPF is quartered. But then, it's set up just as the client directed, risks taken into consideration. regards, .brian -- Brian Bilbrey && [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.orbdesigns.com/ The guy has a reality distortion field generator the size of the state of Rhode Island. - Daniel Gray - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
