Hi,

I have 10 Dell workstation on a LAN. = Each =20 workstation has 80
GB hard drive. Two workstations consumed most of = the=20 disk space and
remaining eight workstations still has plenty of = disk space=20 unused.

...

What I want basically, if I could just = collect=20 those 800 GB
excess space (not utilized) and assign it to the work = stations=20 starving
for disk space. Is this achievable through LVM or=20 EVMS?

I would never do something like this. = You make=20 each workstation dependent on all the other workstations. If one of them = is=20 turned off, crashes, dies, etc. your other workstations lose their data. = Disks=20 are cheap these days. Just buy an extra drive for the workstations that = need=20 it.

Good luck,

Sander
