EVMS differs from us in that they seem to be trying to move the whole application into the kernel, whereas we've taken the opposite route and stripped down the kernel side to just provide services. This is fine, I think there's room for both projects. But it is worth noting that EVMS could be changed to use device-mapper for it's low level functionality. That way they could take advantage of the cool work we're doing with snapshots and pvmove, and we could take advantage of having more eyes on the core driver. LVM2 may not seem that exciting initially, since the first release is just concentrating on reproducing LVM1 functionality. But a lot of the reason for this rewrite is to enable us to add in the new features that we want (such as a transaction based disk format). It's on this new feature list that we'll be mainly competing with EVMS. - Joe _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
