[linux-lvm] LVM - Grundlagen

[Markus Schreier]

Hello LVM-Gurus,
i'm new to lvm and to this list. I looked through the faq but couldent
find the answer there.

I'd like to use lvm in a productive enviroment. (so i would need a 2.2.x
- Kernel)
I could not find the combination of lvm-version and kernel which works
satisfying, so  i would need your help.

Following some questions: 
Which is the preferd lvm-version to use?
Which kernel should be used along with that?

are there any patches recomended?

Is there any draw-backs in this combination or anything to know about?

I tried arround with kernel 2.2.13. and lvm0.8pre. Using the
lvm-commands produced coredumps in a great number.

Thanks for your suggestions

Markus

For 2.2.x use the tarball and the corresponding patch at
<ftp://linux.msede.com/lvm/v0.8pre/> _including_ the changes mentioned in
the BUGS file.

Up to 2.2.14.

Only the LVM kernel patch in the above directory in case you
don't use SuSE 6.3 which already has it in the kernel.

As i mentioned above: add the changes described in the BUGS file.

It seems to me that LVM breaks the install routines of JBuilder.
This routines alway reports that lvm-filesystems are completly full :(

Quick fix:

# mv /bin/df /bin/df.orig
# cat >/bin/df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             12385456  10177268   2082360  83% /
^D
# chmod 755 df

and after installation, move the original df back.
