I have tried LVM1, LVM2 and EVMS, and I think LVM2 is the better choice. Since from Linux kernel 2.6.0, the kernel only supports device-mapper (LVM2). So LVM2 is better than LVM1. Actually for the user friendly interfaces, EVMS is better for user friendly. But for the robust and maintenance, LVM2 is better obviously. I think robust and maintenance is most important for a storage server of course. more -----Original Message----- From: linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com [mailto:linux-lvm-admin@sistina.com]On Behalf Of Jord Tanner Sent: 2003å12æ6æ 3:53 To: linux-lvm@sistina.com Subject: Re: LVM or LVM2? I know this is the LVM list, and I may be shot for saying this, but I have found EVMS to be fabulous. The curses based interface is good, and the X interface is fantastic. Others will certainly have other opinions, and as always YMMV. Jord Tanner On Fri, 2003-12-05 at 06:56, Yanick Quirion wrote: > Hi all, > > I want to implement LVM on a new system. The server will be a Fedora Core 1 and this distribution comes with utilities of LVM version 1.0.x. I also read some stuff about LVM2, but I can't figure out which one is the best solution. On a old system I use LVM 1.1RC2, but this version seems now to be unavailable. > > So for my new server I just want to make the good decision.
