Do you really need it? Yes! We use it all the time to do just that, and did especially on zLinux, because the physical DASD devices were fixed in size, and relatively small. We also did it because it allowed us to non-disruptively move between DASD, using the pvmove command. This allowed us to remain up through several major disk subsystem replacements, both on the zSeries boxes and on Intel based Linux servers. Anything that avoids downtime for my users, and masks infrastructure changes from them is a ³Good Thing (tm)². -- Robert P.
