Are you aware of cases or situations that frown on this practice?

I have some data on logical volumes that are shared via NFS and I 
haven't seen any problems, but now that you have asked the question I'm 
starting to wonder if I'm putting that data at risk without even being 
aware of it....

The system is running Red Hat 7.3 with all of the latest errata.  I'd be 
really interested to hear responses from others on this topic.

nfs exports FILESYSTEMS, not partitions, logical volumes or anything else
;-) There have been problems with some filesystems exported by nfs (e.g. older
releases of nfs and reiserfs), but these problems are not discussed here. nfs
shouldn't worry wether the filesystem to be exported is on a logical volume,
a partition of your harddisk or anywhere else.

CU, Lars.

Right, good clarification.  I just assumed everyone knew what I meant 
(exported filesystems on LVs), which arguably isn't the right thing to 
do on a mailing list.  I also misunderstood the question in the previous 
posts, and in a moment of panic, posted my silly question.  It can be 
ignored.  ;)

Back to lurking.
