Andreas answered this question already. (In short: upgrade kernel part of lvm to beta6 or use a patch provided by Andreas) See e.g. http://lists.sistina.com/pipermail/linux-lvm/2001-March/006580.html There is also a search page for the archive of this (and the other) lvm mailing list(s): http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/maillist.html (4004fe0a leads to the answers) Holger -- Holger Grothe (Email: grothe@mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de) Fachbereich Mathematik, TU Darmstadt
