There might be a nifty way of copying it as though it were a file, but I think I would do something like dd if=/dev/mapper/myvolume of=- | ssh $remotehost dd of=newfile As for actually writinng it out to an LVM parition on the remote host, I don't know how. I should think you can use fdisk on the remote host to create the right sized partition, and then use the device name for that partition as 'newfile' -serge -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
