So, you wanna hear from people who're using LVM on Linux? Here, we are! Let's get rid of that damned partitioning fuzz. With LVM i actually only need three 'partitions' on my boot-drive: root, swap and my physical volume of lvm. I can create, increase, shrink and drop now logical volumes just to test new filesystems (is there any gfs guy on the list? I use Antimatter Ant with patch 3 on a lv and it works great now!) or other new software. Another evident thing for me is, that i can use Oracle8's autoextension without fear to fill my root! So, give everybody his LVM ! Thanks for your great work Ciao Klaus -- Klaus Strebel stb@ep-ag.com EIGNER + PARTNER AG - The Engineering Warehouse Company - -----------------------------------------------------------------------
