It's not, which is why I don't use it.
All LVM partitions rely on the filesystem holding the LVM table to remain uncorrupted. Corruption on *THAT* filesystem can very well destroy your LVM partitioning. :-/
Any other suggestions for something that will let me expand my filesystem on my systems that must be kept running 365x24?
LVM and EVMS are both actually used quite a lot because they solve a real problem. Similar systems have been in use in e.g. AIX and HPUX for over 10 years.
That's true, but it is not a solution for those of us having twenty physical partitions already in a drive. Every engineering solution has pros and cons. LVM is good for something, physical partitions is good for another. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
