The bit I've not tried is expanding the RAID set. In an ideal world, you just make LVM see that the partition is now bigger or something. Like you say, you've gotta be a brave/stupid man to try that the first time on production data. :-) Ronny -- Ronny Adsetts Technical Director Amazing Internet Ltd, London t: +44 20 8607 9535 f: +44 20 8607 9536 w: www.amazinginternet.com
