The patches are a little invasive (they touch the VM system -- zumastor triggers an old deadlock in the kernel, and we have a fix for it), so it's not clear they will be accepted unless zumastor has proven itself in the field. We're working on increasing our usability and performance now to attract more users. i.e. we're slowly making our ubuntu packages (including the kernel flavor) follow all the debian and ubuntu rules, and are now building them in a ppa at launchpad for hardy. We also have fairly good Gentoo support. (Sorry, we didn't have any Fedora people on the project, so no Fedora packaging yet.) - Dan _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
