I'll try it and see how it goes. It hasn't helped. I think I know what the problem is: namely, that I haven't discovered how to set up lvmetad. I get an error "lvmetad is running but disabled" but if I enable it in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf I get a different error. What should I be doing here? Google hasn't helped me. In my own defence, I did mention this on Wednesday. -- Rgds Peter
