I talked to some Sistina developers who visited the office a year or so ago but don't recall their names now, sorry. One if the things I asked for in LVM (and would still like to see) is a switch to create an LV that is as big as the remaining disk space available.=20 We have a redhat based kickstart install that sets up a basic / and then creates an LV out of the rest of the disk. Currently we have hard coded the size of the remaining disk but it would be really slick if we could just pass an option to lvcreate which would just create an lv with the most space possible.=20 Right now if we ever install on anything other than one of our standard 36G disks we have to delete the lv that was made and resize it or if the disk is smaller than 36G the hard coded lvcreate size will fail due to lack of space.=20 There's got to be a cleaner way to do it. --=20 Tracy Reed http://www.ultraviolet.org --2xeD/fx0+7k8I/QN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjxPYiEACgkQ9PIYKZYVAq0TMgCbBPVkR4XBGhPCSiq6giuQh7sA jTwAoKBiR5eFJeZyTa1vjhpTKZCA5nsK =1e/p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --2xeD/fx0+7k8I/QN--
