I played with the evmsgui for some time this morning. But I'm a bit confused about the terms evms uses. http://evms.sourceforge.net/user_guide/#terminology I wasn't able to achive the same result I got with lvm2 in the end. BTW: I had to add drbd to the block device include option in the evms.conf file. include = [ drbd? hd? sd? dasd? disc ] evms looks promising (automatic expansion of filesystems if the underlying device grows). I'll have a look at it next week. Ralf
