Anyone who has tried a professional LV like veritas VxVM, IBM AIX-LVM, and Especially Suns ZFS, find linux-lvm a crude, feature-less confusing product. I do not want the job of running a production critical Sun X4500 with 48 disks connected to a single Marvell SATA controller with the LVM interface. I recall the times when 4GB disks were the largest, Then a good LV was Appreciated. Now we can just buy a dead cheap Sata raid-controllers. But never the less ZFS would have been nice. -- MortenB, Oslo, Norway -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
