It may do it if i chose to let the disk mount the partition, but that getting away from what I'm trying to do. With dump/restore we usually mount the partition we are dumping to and once that is mounted we dump the entire partition from the other drive to the mounted partition we are in. Do you this I should reinstall with the old way of partitioning? I still have no idea why Fedora is confusing people with LVM's. Jesse Jarzynka Cyber Source http://www.thecybersource.com/
