Do you use or need md/svm/lvm on illumos or OpenSolaris or similar?
If so, why?
I'm contemplating the idea that we don't need this baggage anymore,
given the existence of ZFS.
Perhaps I'm missing some fundamentally crucial point. If I am, please
tell me what it is.
Yes, we need to keep DiskSuite. It
* is used in preference to ZFS by some people
* has a smaller memory footprint than ZFS
* is used with Cluster for globally mounted filesystems
* is widely deployed in existing environments
* is still used with SAM-FS (just ask dlg!)
Oh, I could go on and on. It should stay. ZFS is not a panacea.
