If you really do (which is not a good idea IMHO because it buys you nothing) you will have to be extra-careful to not mess up the stripe alignment. I think the better option is to create the XFS directly on /dev/sdX without partitions. cheers, Michael _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
