Okay, I see you're point. What would be the best file system to use (to
the best of you're knowledge?). I use Ext3 at the time being. The
problem is that I cannot back up my data, and I need to be gambling! :)
When I / if I loose a disk I want to at least have a reasonable chance

I will! :)=20

More questions:=20

When I add / remove disks from a EVMS volume can I (provided there is
enough free space) move all the data off one disk no matter where it is
in the link set so that I can remove it and add another larger disk?=20

The basic problem being that my storage needs increases rapidly and all
my IDE channels are in use so when I need to add more space I would have
to copy some og the data over the network to another computer, then
shrink the drive link volume, remove a disk, add a larger and then
continue.
