Hi,

Can I create LV from windows shares?
EGZ. I have 5 windows shares of 30 GB, so I need one directory that would be 150GB size

Just tell me if it posible to to.

Thanks.

Sounds rather "different" to do. But yes, you can create files and use those to run LVM in. But given the stability of SMB I would not. It is better if you can do it with NFS or move some disks around.

I see, I guess I'll stay on samba mounted directories. Thanks for answering.
