I was still a bit nervous about this suggestion. As it happens, the only LV that was using sda11 was 'gen-website', which (as the name suggests) can be regenerated from other data. So instead, I just deleted the 'gen-website' LV. That allowed me to delete and re-create both the sda11 and sda12 PVs. This seems to have fixed everything. I was able to recreate the 'gen-website' LV and create my long-awaited 'dvd' LV as well. Thanks again to Alasdair and Jonathan for all the help and patience! ---------------------- Matt McHenry http://www.speakeasy.org/~jerith/ jerith@speakeasy.org be052@scn.org
