My gripe with lvm3 is more philosophical -- it provides a silly service, namely allowing me to combine the failure modes of all of my disks and if any one of them fails, my FS is toast. I just put a separate lmv3 on each disk (in passive-aggressive fashion) and ignore that lvm is there. (And yes, I did learn the hard way too when a 600Gig filesystem spanning 3 Seagate 200G disks developed an intermittent controller card on one of the disks.) > You (speaking generally) all thought it was hilarious when they decide > to remap all the drives with the next iteration of the kernel and > everyone using tar for backups needs to run 5-7 sessions the next day > to restore order & get a fresh level 0 on everything. ;-) I did quite a bit of head scratching figuring that one out too. > Yeah, I know, this IS fedora, and we are supposed to bleed for the > community good.

If I'm going to trip over a bug, I'd really prefer for it to be something some other person has already entered into bugzilla. It pays to be a sheep -- in the center of the herd. ;-) -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
