To: linux-lvm-approval@msede.com Is it yet possible to boot from an LVM volume? A big advantage of LVM is the live resizing of volumes. Especially after installing I would like to collapse / and have as many directories in fact as file systems on LVMs as possible. The big advantage is a very fast recovery time, and also a quick change of the kernel, e.g. keeping all /etc config files in place (production /etc/ mounted over sysgen /etc after sysgen/etc is merged into production /etc). I like also mirrored / . Is anyone working on a logical volume manager that supports Raid 1-5? (well, raid0 is the lvm itself, concatenation across physical media). I am not on the list, please copy me in. Thanks Mike -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Nittmann, President/CEO Voice/FAX (715)552-8755 NCinc, Inc.
