LVM(1|2) vs EVMS

LVM(1|2) vs EVMS

[Jose Alberto Guzman]

  What would be the recommended volume management system for an smp 
production server running oracle 8i (later 9i) on 2.4.20 or 2.4.21 
debian gnu/linux with reiserfs: lvm1, lvm2 or evms ??

  Solid stability under heavy load and snapshots are the main needed 
features.

  What would you suggest?

LVM1 is part of the kernel for a lot of time and is greatly tested,
so I guess it will be the best choice in your case.

Thanks for your suggestion Oleg, (and Thunder who replied personally).


  I suppose that the patches at:

ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/2.4.20-pending

  would make a 2.4.20 box more stable with lvm 1 ??   are there any 
other recommended patches around??



  Thanks
