You would probably get a more complete answer on the LVM2 list. > If not, will it be compatible with LVM? >From some discussions I have read, I think not, but I have not worked much with LVM2, so take this with a grain of salt. > Any hints, tips, caveats or doc pointers I need to know before I plunge > into this? Another alternative is EVMS, which is compatible with LVM but also integrates management of RAID volumes, disk partitioning, and other features from a unified interface. EVMS, like LVM2, requires a patch to the 2.4 kernel in order to work. In future stable kernels, both will use the standard device-mapper interface and should not require a patch. Plain LVM and RAID-linear are both available in stock 2.4 kernels for this purpose. -- - mdz
