Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Kernel freeze coming and info for Barry
[link|http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt20021014_188.html|Kernel Traffic] has details.

And Barry, I think that item 2 on the summary is relevant to [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=55174|this question] of yours.

Cheers,
Ben

PS Were I a betting man, I would be betting that before Christmas this "freeze" will have thawed a little. Linus always sounds so final when he is trying to freeze, but then waffles too much afterwards.

Sure there is. LVM2 and EVMS both support compatibility with LVM1 volumes. My betting money is on the devicemapper that's the kernel core of LVM2 being integrated and EVMS having to port the better elements of their code the devicemapper interface. EVMS is more complex and some of the EVMS developers have been doing a very effective job of rubbing the kernel developers the wrong way.

And here's a link about LVM2 and LVM1 compatibility by one of the LVM1/2 writers.

So hopefully 2.6/3.0/WhateverTheyCallIt will have a nice, sane LVM and four journalling file systems to choose from. And by then, all of file systems should have online resize support for at least growing the file system which will compliment the LVM quite nicely.

If you realize that this is the result of 35 years of continuous development across a wide range of compute platforms, there's a certain sense to it. It's internally consistent with its development history. Not that it doesn't suck.
