The Sistina (Red Hat owns them now) LVM that is most widely used on GNU/Linux today is nearly identical to that used on HPUX. By the way, mis-partitioning your discs because you still don't have a clue sucks even more. Sure, you don't need a HOWTO to manage symlinks, but as you make more and more, it becomes an absolute nightmare. What happens when a partition like /usr fills up and you need to put some more programs in /usr/bin? Make symlinks to every binary you need on another partition mounted elsewhere? That will very quickly drive you over the edge of sanity as it's very fragile. Making patchwork solutions when something better is available that was specifically designed for that purpose is something I would never recommend. -- True compassion is more than throwing a coin to a beggar. It demands of our humanity that if we live in a society that produces beggars, we are morally commanded to restructure that society. http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com/ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
