I'm curious about this. At work we haven't finished our evaluation of
RHEL3/RHEL4 (CentOS is out of the question, since SLA is king here).
Most of our servers and desktops are RH9 legacy, and we use LVM on all
of them. It's my understanding that RHEL4(CentOS4) only offers LVM2,
and it doesn't appear that you can extend and ext3 filesystem using
LVM2 tools. If that is indeed true, why woud LVM be "measurably
better?
