</div><div>> looks promising thank you<br>

<br>
</div>Just take notice that sequencial logical volume (partition) may be not<br>
sequencial on the physical volume (There's a logical extent to physical<br>
extent mapping).<br>
<br>
However, there is a good chance most/all of your partition is<br>
sequencial, especially if you created the volume group and the logical<br>
volumes when the disk was empty (e.g: during installation) without<br>
requiring a striped logical volume (it's not the default).<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>
