It seems possible to add one physical partition but if that disc crashes I would loose all data since the filesystem would depend on information on both partitions (the physical and the raid abstracted d.o.), right? Another question. I'm trying to compile the utilities on a glibc 2.1 system, with no success. The LVM-home page mentions that a small patch is needed but I can't seem to find that anywhere ..... suggestions anybody? Cheers, Jarek
