Hello, I am brand new to this list and to LVM as well. I am currently putting together a talk about what can and can't be done today in the "Linux SAN" world, and apparently LVM from Sistina is the de facto standard for volume management. However, in order to provide a COMPLETE overview of the situation in the Linux SAN arena, I was wondering if there are any other alternatives, either proprietary or opensource, that can accomplish some, if not all, of the same things the Sistina's LVM provides. This is just an attempt to be thorough in my research, so please, don't think I am bashing Sistina's product. Any input is greatly appreciated, Kevin Joubert North American Customer Support Center Hewlett-Packard Company kevin.joubert@hp.com _______________________________________________ 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
