While I don't necessarily disagree with the point above, there ARE only so many hours in a day, and the vast majority of Open Source software that I use has similar problems. In fact, most have far worse documentation than does LVM. I refuse to let the fact that I cannot single-handedly supply documentation to the entire open source community deter me from pointing out deficiencies where they arise. > Actually, I would be willing to do that, I'm up to the writing, but it will > take me a while to figure out where to check out the current man page source, > unless someone gives me a pointer.
