I know the advantages. I actually converted my servers to use LVM volumes for the VMs and database. Snapshots are the way to go for backing up live systems. I have been doing some research into how to accomplish differential block level backups from snapshot to snapshot. I guess my question was more amorphous. I have a couple potential storage applications that could be implemented with LVM as a component. I'm also looking into ZFS and Btrfs. I'm not looking for a compare/contrast. I'm looking to hear from people using it, things they like, things they dislike, oddities they've encountered, etc. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
