[linux-lvm] tools in the distros?

[Lewis Bergman]

Is there any effort to get the distro's to incorporate the tools available 
for the kernel they are releasing? Now that LVM has been standard in the 
kernel for a while are any of them looking at including it? Just curious.

By the way, thanks for the LVM. I had a boot partition flop on me and decided 
to do a new install since all my real stuff was on my drive with LVM. Copied 
over my conf files and ran vgscan and change and all my devs were generated 
and was up in a couple of seconds. Man this is neat stuff.

SuSE have been shipping LVM kernel and tools in their distro for ages, and I
think Debian does too (though that might just be Woody).

Don't remember about Debian, but as far as I remember, at least Potato
(kernel 2.2.1x) doesn't have kernel support for LVM at installation time.

On the other hand, it seems that Mandrake has full support for Linux LVM
at installation time, at least from and including 8.0 (maybe also 7.2).
On versions with such support, the screen where you can make traditional
partitions lets you configure whatever LVM setup you want, except LV for
the root filesystem. Additionally, MDK gives give the possibility of
setting up soft RAID and whatever filesystem supported under Linux you
could think of :).
