I wanted to use test, where I might use say data in real use, but ended up with this: root@fireball / # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on << SNIP >> /dev/mapper/sdb--vg-test 51606140 184268 48800432 1% /mnt/temp root@fireball / # I don't mind the sdb--vg part tho. I guess that sort of points to what all is needed to get to that point. Might come in handy if I needed to remove something tho. Sort of tells me what is what. I did try to mount it before putting a file system on it. I sort of missed that part somewhere. I knew it needed it, just forgot to do it. Mount sort of puked on my keyboard to remind me. lol Whew !! Progress. Oh, someone posted a link to a site that had pictures. That helped a good bit. It needed more detail tho. I'm going to do some google image searches and see what I can find. Thanks much.
