man lvm works here. Not sure if it'll have everything you need though. John -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+hHB+H5oDXyLKXKQRAugyAKCyqSVOstg0pcF21U9xqa3ikVD9ZACeMfYi MjT8PjZ6Ws37ZnA4VM6kuAA= =kbuK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
www.suse.com/oracle/ -> Docs -> LVM whitepaper *very* good! I wrote it ;-) Rodrigo Nascimento wrote:

second that! Is it still relevant as it is from 2001? How stable is lvm, is it good enough to put /usr /opt and the like on lvm disks? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
How stable is lvm, is it good enough to put /usr /opt and the like on lvm disks?
I use LVM for /opt and /usr with Reiserfs file systems. I've added physical disks and extended the partitions (live, while they're still mounted) several times. Never a hiccup. Two warnings: don't put your root fs on LVM. It might work these days, but it used to be a source of problems. Second, don't use YaST. I have SuSE-8.1 and the LVM config stuff in YaST is extremely unstable. I never lost any data to it, but hit the "it's gone wrong - it might be best to reboot now" warning loads of times. The command line tools are very simple to use and have never given me a problem. -- "...our desktop is falling behind stability-wise and feature wise to KDE ...when I went to Mexico in December to the facility where we launched gnome, they had all switched to KDE3." - Miguel de Icaza, March 2003

Yes, unfortunately the yast1 LVM config was MUCH better than the yast2 one is... By the way, the Oracle 9iR2 RAC certification was run on raw I/O on LVM volumes... very simple to setup with LVM, very tough without! Michael
