Sorry, I was thinking AIX, which uses LVM (Logical Volume Manager). Sun's version is SVM. --- Wayne Johnson, | There are two kinds of people: Those 3943 Penn Ave. N. | who say to God, "Thy will be done," Minneapolis, MN 55412-1908 | and those to whom God says, "All right, (612) 522-7003 | then, have it your way." --C.S.

LVM is the Linux Volume Manager. Solaris isn't Linux.
