Re: [linux-lvm] INFO: bringing LVM into mainstream kernel

[Marcus Ruehmann <m.ruehmann@mail.isis.de>]

Hi Alan,

Heinz send you his _very nice_ lvm code to prepare for inclusion in
2.3.x.

I know that currently heavy modifications are done by Linus et al. but
anyway I guess _many_ people would appreciate to have this feature into
the kernel.

LVM helps a lot (and the _also nice_ raw dev from Stephen) to get Linux
into corporate world since those features strengthen the Linux database
position.

So, please please please convince Linus ;-)

Cheers
Marcus
