I'm a little late to the thread here because of the boondoggle that is the RTP, NC area the last couple of days, but here is my $0.02. I learned a long time ago that recovering anything from an LVM volume is more trouble that it's worth. I have lost more data on LVM volumes than I have any other filesystem. Unless you use RAID with LVM never use it on a personal workstation/desktop. In fact, I'm in the process of scrapping the LVM volume based virtual machines at my office simply because they are LVM based. I'm sure I'll be flamed for it, but the tools to recover LVM data is humorous at best, and catastrophic at worst. - -- Mark Haney Network/Systems Administrator Practichem W: (919) 714-8428 Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) 3.12.10-300.fc20.x86_64 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS/isAAAoJEM/YzwEAv6e74xEIAKYuZa3d1MuSW6QJAoMfp9vl J/Z2UFh3B3l6srckQDQdwxgfV7mSNjd1WcWaXdwFa+wk8XBOOdO1gW0iV3NLSI++ pIk91KFrhY6SLOQHAkO15lCaawjLU6fSMPqLxbDgIq8/q3Ic0kqzPFP7l68ey9yD nwvUmOONqUBnXzkvclZz4CWIBHhDMCjnKS3J0ivmDMoZainW/3NRqbCg8J9LaR3E LuAkjL+CUMoDWHAL3OIRKW/38gUh6ilZFMvoCS7p1IsHKjvgRXEMFNS7AOTW4JNJ kPvBelV1c0Avb2tFwek6Eb8GSijt3VCdBMrKdjtUX+R9TIKVLSAq7amIp1CwmO8= =sr9e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
