Hello moredruid,

My amahi server is down and completely screwed-up. I don't blame you. I didn't have anything important on it (data) anyway.

I think it is that time of the month for me to change "distro's". So i am back (for a while) to freenas. (to see what there latest release can do for me)

Thnx for all the help.../

I hope you'll get it back up and running soon.
LVM can be a beast to understand initially. It's basically an extra layer on top of your "normal" layout with some tweaks and tricks, but it can look very daunting if you see it the first time.

followed my own instructions to the letter, and I now officially have 1,75 TB of storage in the same volume
