Just to pretend to be a 'Linux heavyweight' (ho ho) for a minute... the kernel based lvm interface is based on the HP-UX implementation, which I used for a number of years in the past. I feel that it's a bit complicated, and adds unneeded complication to disk partitioning, which should really be addressed by a bit of analysis, followed by static partitioning.***** beware gmail header ****** Hey,
I have been looking at different LVM systems ( LVM1, LVM2 or EVMS http://evms.sourceforge.net/) and am wondering if any anyone has had any experience with them and specifically setting up a root partition on them. What do you recommend? (Using gentoo)
thanks,

Having said that, it works well ( I last used it more than 2 years ago, and it was solid as a rock then ), and should be considered if you wish to treat a number of disks as a single entity. I wouldn't use it on a single disk, ever.
My $0.02, but it *is* based on a number of years relevant experience in this case.
Cheers,
