What about putting it on top of a thin-LV then ? With over provisioning you could even share space efficiently between root & home and would get other features such as efficient CoW snapshots. Of course as with any thin-provisioning you are also giving up things, such as easily finding out how much free space is actually available to a given storage volume. > > > > -- > 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
