LVM. ok, you asked for it ;) there is still some idiosyncrasye wrt HSM and it doesn't build. *joking* 2.2.11 or 2.2.12 does not seem to be a big problem to me. > > or ideally for raid to be fully integrated into LVM, and create > > RAID-5 VG's. > or, considering the relative complexity of the two drivers (and the > conceptual background), to integrate LVM into the concepts of RAID :) Or i dont understand your last sentence > let them live side by side as now. i believe useful integrating raid and lvm it means a user can dcide the different raid policy for each type of data. eg. striping for /var/spool/junk 3 way raid1 for /very/important/stuff raid5 for /other/data Leaving things as now is still very useful, and i will be very happy to have this arrangement finalized. we really need to fix LILO (or another boot loader, grub already can read ext2 filesystems) to be able to understand raid and lvm. as a side question, how does LVM autodetect works (if it exists, that is)?
