Hi Andreas, I think I posted exactly the same quiestion to the list some time ago. The answer is that you need the Device Mapper Mirror Target compiled into (or as a module in) your kernel. You will need to get the "unstable" patches from the following URL: http://sources.redhat.com/dm/patches.html Feel free to mail me if you need any more info on this. Rupert
