Huh? Where/what is CVS? Is this fix something up2date would grab? Sorry, I'm fairly new to the Redhat way of doing things. On a related topic, is there any way to create a snapshot outside of the volume group containing the original target? I'm short on space in the original VG and would like the snapshot the use some other space in a different VG. If not, I'll have to shuffle some disk space around. -- Bill Ranck Blacksburg, Va. 540-231-3951
