    This worked! At least, up to and including the pvcreate and lvcreate stuff. Thank you so much, Mr. Otta. I have named my lvgroup "otta" in your honor.

    Travis also approves!

    I like this web blog very much so much excellent info.

  4. I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It’s
    a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit
    more often. Did you hire out a developer to create
    your theme? Great work!
