Point being is that setting up the 2nd hard drive with LVM isn't
necessary in this case. Just set it up to automount and you can use it
as a data storeage drive just as you would a 2nd drive in Windows or any
other system.

Re video: As much as I'd _love_ to work on a project like that; I can
work measurment & water with the best of them (I've experience w/several
world & international sailing championships), but I haven't a clue as to
how to use video editing tools properly. I'm a measurement/markset/pin
boat sort of guy... :-)
  Besides, my largest hard drives are 40GB & although I have multiple
systems, my internet connection is standard DSL so you'd have to find
the FedEx guy that Leonard used to send me the 64bit system (that I'm
still waiting on :-) to ship a few 100+GB drives my way :-)

Question: are your son & daughter also using Ubuntu & the same video
editing tools as you?

Good luck with with your project & let us know how it goes.
