Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-lvm Errors-To: owner-linux-lvm List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-lvm@msede.com I see very strange situation with lvm now. And it is really strange for me. Ok, I signed petition, there are far too many efforts to include lvm into kernel. And it was included. And that was the last news item at lvm website! There are too many bugs in lvmtools, many of them already found/reported. There are far too many headaches to build lvm with new kernels. There are too many patches floating around. And the latest file date is about march-2000... It seemed to be that folks has have only one target -- to include lvm into kernel. To set up a dots under i's. And that was a final plan. Again, when IBM comes with their ideas (not to say here good or bad -- it is a different story), people here just said something like "we already have all that we want, so go out"... (discussion was long and interesting, but primary authors was not involved there). What's happening? I'm really worried, as this is a very useful thing. And I call here -- should someone become a new maintainer of the whole thing ? :((( As current maintainer as it seemed to be just did all that he want already... I'm sorry, I'm really very sorry for this all if I'm wrong. This is just my impression, nothing more. And I apologize, really, if I'm wrong. But -- who can demonstrate that I'm wrong ??? :((((((((( Regards, Michael.
