Reading the lvm-devel archives, I don't see any discussion of virtualsize volumes in the last couple of months, since they've been basically working. It's a wonderful feature, but informal testing shows a performance reduction of about 70% compared to normal volumes. Is that expected to improve in the near future? Perhaps one of the developers has noticed how it could be improved and has it on their TODO list? -- Ray Morris support@bettercgi.com Strongbox - The next generation in site security: http://www.bettercgi.com/strongbox/ Throttlebox - Intelligent Bandwidth Control http://www.bettercgi.com/throttlebox/ Strongbox / Throttlebox affiliate program: http://www.bettercgi.com/affiliates/user/register.php _______________________________________________ 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/
