You are welcome to use LVM. People I trust tell me not to use it. And my experience with HPUX LVM has left a bad taste. Is there something you want to do with LVM that can't be done with MD devices?

I depend on the mailing list archive to "remember" deails though. thanks, grant _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
