Since we are at the testing stage at the moment I will try this out as soon as I find time to do it. The logging thing wouldn't bother me since we do logging remotely via syslog. What I havent't tried out so far is setting up a machine from scratch using raid and lvm though ... I built my own set of boot-disks to get the hardware supported initially, so this might also be resolveable ... Thx for the advice. -- Jogi Hofmueller - mur.at ICQ: 284632332 Tel.: +43 316 821451 55 |#| http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms/h/hacker.html
