"Problem" with your approach: The admin has to maintain this. I was looking for something, which "maints itself", so to say. And your approach also wouldn't scale if there are sub-subvolumes. ZFS really is so much easier (at least regarding that). Thanks a lot, though. It's a worthwhile idea. Regards, Alexander
