The problem with the LVM implementation in Linux is that it doesnot honor write barriers; if you use LVM, your data is notguaranteed to have been committed to stable storage when LVMreports that the write has finished. At least that was the case last I checked. If you are intent onusing LVM, you might want to research that again. Otherwise, noneof the systems using it can be considered safe for data. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
