Hi, I don't think you fully appreciate the request you're making here. Commercial Unices such as HP-UX and Solaris can not boot from striped volumes for about the same reasons why it would be difficult to have LILO read from a striped volume: the implications are just too horrendous to comtemplate. Typically I don't care that my boot partition/lv can not be striped. The I/O rates into that volume are just not high enough to need striping. Why not put our efforts to something else which is more important right now.? ++Jos -- All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
