said Mike Bird via tde-users: | I've used LVM since roughly 2001, including on laptops and workstations, | on the servers for what was then a regional ISP, on the servers for an | entire school district, and back in the day I used to manage high | traffic NNTP servers for some of the smaller national ISPs. [much deleted] Because I accidentally started this, I think I should respond, albeit slightly. Clearly you have found LVMs highly useful. I confess a prejudice: IBM tried something similar in the waning days of OS/2. Some people appeared to like it, but it made an inescapable mess of my hard drive, ultimately causing me to give up running OS/2 on my second machine at all. Linux isn't OS/2, of course, but it is like the food that once you've been made sick by it poorly prepared you're not likely to try it again, even if the recipe has been refined. Additionally, the many uses and advantages you mention are mostly not things I'll ever encounter. So when I said I have no use for LVMs, it was a comment on my computer, not a critism of LVMs. Thanks for your reply. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
