No, it is impossible that way. NFS mounts are not partitions, but=20
exported filesystems. They don't have e.g. a device entry on the client.=20
=20
If you want to use lvm, you need a block DEVICE, e.g. a harddisk. Usually=20
this appears as /dev/sda, /dev/hda, /dev/rd/c0d0 etc. There are ways=20
to export block devices over a network, e.g. "iscsi" - you export a=20
device and get a new "scsi"-device on the client. This is a possible lvm=20
target (am I wrong here?).=20
=20
Good luck, CU Lars.=20
