What an unenlighten troll. I have plenty of experience with AIX's
volume
manager. LVM2 can stand up to it any day. As a matter of fact
Linux's LVM
is about to completely surpass what is available in AIX. LVM2 can
do cluster
locking and management. You can use LVM2 with Multipathing tools
just as you
can under any commercial Unix. LVM2 is more than ready for prime
time as can
be seen by looking at RHEL and SLES distributions.
I think that comment is a bit extreme, don't you?
Linux is not a toy and neither is LVM2. It can be used as a toy or
a learning
device, but it is not relegated to the closet of geeks. And don't
get me
started on AIX if you don't happen to have the OnlineJFS sets
installed.
Also the draconian having to resize the filesystem by calculating
the number
of 512 byte blocks in the filesystem.
yes, that was always a big complaint of mine.
Do your homework please. Just because you've dealt exclusively or
extensively
with one flavor of *nix doesn't mean that others aren't up to the
task. And
just because it's IBM's Unix doesn't make it more or less ready for
the
enterprise, it just makes it proprietary. You'd do well to judge
based on
features, capabilities and the completeness of the tools.

Yes, I've supported just about every unix, not to mention every
flavor of linux out there...for the past 16 years. I AM judging on
the features and capabilities and completeness of the tools. My
comments were meant as compliments for the progress of the tools from
the old 2.2 kernel days, not an insult. My apologies if i've hit a
nerve of some sort. However, that said. I'd still prefer, all
things considered, to support a volume under aix's lvm than the
current lvm2 stuff. However, I have NOT researched all the current
options for lvm creation and management under lvm2. I will admit
that. I wasn't trying to start a flamewar here, but I assure
you....my homework has been done.
