Check! Thanks Albert Another please, from the doc: "Note: As Terje Kvernes commented, it is easier to increase the size of a partition then to shrink it. You might therefore want to start with smaller partitions and increase their size as needed. Code Listing 2.5: Creating and extending logical volumes" Then why give the logical volumes any size at all? If they can be expanded at will, why not just the let the files fill them up as much as they need? This point has me stymied. Maxim
