LVM ? (not vinum!)

2004-07-04 Thread Stephan van Beerschoten
Is there an implementation of an LVM in FreeBSD ?
Vinum is not sufficient. I am looking for a true LVM where creating and 
resizing volumes is a must. Something like Solaris Disksuite with 
softpartitioning is something I could live with already, but it just 
does not seem to exist.

Am I correct? I'd hate to have to consider Linux as the OS for this new 
platform because of the one flaw in FreeBSD I can't live with :(

Thanks,
Stephan

And what's missing in Vinum?

Sounds like Vinum to me.

I don't think so.

I'd suggest that you read the documentation and come back with a list
of features which you would like to see.  The ones you mention above
have existed from day one.

Vinum lets you resize volumes by concatenating plexes, and then you can
run growfs to expand the filesystem into the new space.
