New Reason they never applied the patches...
Is that they reviewed the patches and then they "fixed" the problem(s) themselves...

Unfortuneately I am using LVM big time... I have been for a long while... IT *IS* stable... it is useable... it is very nice...

I am about ready to use IBM's storage management... dunno... All I can say is LVM is *NEARLY* as fast as straight partitions...

WTF is Sistina thinking?

New Oh, they KNOW what they are doing
Find an "enterprise" niche.

Seed the market.

Get people dependant.

Revoke the GPL on the 1st patch.

Start sending bills.

They had to pull back early on the GFS
because the various projects (Compaq SSI,
etc) started using it, which means any
problems show up before people are dependant
on it.

What they want is direct end users rather
than developers using their stuff. That
way it'll get implemented quickly, and
then they OWN you.

Just a wee bit cynical, ehh?
