So, in order to upgrade to LVM2 there's no data conversion necessary, if I understand you correctly. That's very good news. > You should give LVM2 a try on some test system please. I might play around with it on my laptop (which runs Linux under VMware) -- this way, if anything goes wrong, I just lose a virtual disk and not real data. :-) (VMware is great for "experimenting" with filesystem code. I haven't actually experimented with LVM under VMware yet, though. It'll be interesting ...) Thanks for your time, Heinz.
