Not sure as I have not played with EVMS. I know Gregory has. As I understand it EVMS is an LVM implementation from IBM. I believe it is more of an integrated set of tools in that it not only resizes the block device but will automatically call the appropriate filesystem tools to resize the fs also. This is attractive to me in that if you fat-finger the filesystem resize command and tell it to go bigger than your logical volume you have just corrupted your filesystem. I believe it has other bells and whistles as well. Unfortunately the kernel guys didn't like all the stuff the EVMS code was doing in kernel-space and rejected it from inclusion in the kernel. The EVMS guys have gone back to the drawing board to refactor a lot of stuff back into user-space. Haven't heard much about it since. - -- Tracy R Reed http://ultraviolet.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCfQFO9PIYKZYVAq0RApXZAJwJ8r2d1PEu22FJ2pFGXaDJwgYInQCZAUjK KKJaScV1PFk4dutwcVbhBNM= =V9Af -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
