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. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
