the reason why i say this is lvm appears to just be an application interface method of the manual way of using dd to create a large file then associating that file via the mapper and the loopx devices then initializinig a file system on it and then mounting it... using this manual approach i have created a master encrypted 'disk' with several volumes inside it and successfully mounted each with no problem... copying the one large master file backs up the entire subsystem i created inside as well...so if lvm is in fact an application that manipulates this type of setup, then you should be able to create volumes within a volume. > on mine, yeah the partition i created to put the guests is simply a volume > group, but as far as i know, as long as the /vservers is mounted first, you > can mount additional logical partitions within it. > > > > Best regards, > > Steven. > > * > > On 10/18/05, Steven Truong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Hi, all.
