    Thank you all for your feedback - I guess I wasn't aware that there wasn't a "hard-fast rule" for this paramete? Anyway all the responses have been most helpful.

    So thank you again;
    Theresa

    Bah.

    If you have a massive amount of file system meta
    changes, than 2MB for 1GB is a good idea, but that
    assumes METADATA changes (i.e., massive file creations
    and deletions).

    If this is a database server (create file once and
    then never change its STRUCTURE), then you can get by
    with a minimally-sized log device (one logical
    partition) for your entire volume group.
