Have you discussed export with the DB2 gurus responsible for your DB2 server? Are they happy with export?

I've got a AHA2940UW with 2GB SCSI HDD setup as: C: Primary D: Logical 2 40GB IDE E: LVM F: LVM Using IBM's Boot Manager comes up with errors. Would AirBoot solve this problem? I'm thinking it might be better to make *all* partitions logical/LVM & only have the boot manager primary. Would this solve problems?
