However, I am not yet sure whether the desired outcome could be achieved. I intend to move the entire content of the original /home to /mnt/lvm/home which is replicated via drbd, /home is not! Your suggestion is intriguing though. According to the mount man page the data is accessible "in two places", does that mean the data remains on /home? That would defeat the desired backup purpose. I am still messing with the boot order. Right now I am activating my logical volume group in the drbd init script. Would it be a good idea to just simply 'mount /mnt/lvm/home /home' at that point in the boot sequence and be done with it? How about fstab? Thanks, Gernot
