TIA for any help, suggestions, etc I suggest you start a new thread, with a subject line that summarises your problem. LVM experts might not be reading Stan's thread.
If the problem persists, I will try to make this announcement a bit more prominent, but for now, hopefully this will be enough to clear up any confusion.

Sorry, I can't analyse what went wrong as this thread has expired on my system, and I can't be bothered to retrieve it :(
I would guess that I had replied to a message that was hi-jacking someone else's thread. If that wasn't you, Dan, then I apologise.
That's exactly what happened Bob -- Dan cut into Stan's thread by hitting the "Reply" button, rather than by opening a new message and copying in the list address. Dan, do you understand now what Bob was advising you about? In threading mail readers like Thunderbird, which I use, your message popped up in the middle of Stan's thread. If I (and Bob) had not been following that thread, we'd never have seen your message at all, since I keep threads compressed on my machine, and only see the first current message. Even if we were to have the threads expanded normally, your message would have been buried among ten or more, sometimes twenty or thirty, appropriately sent messages, and we still likely wouldn't have seen yours unless, like me, we were already scanning all the messages. ...Besides that, many consider it impolite to hijack another's thread for your own new message. :-) John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
