Solaris sux

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalome Jakes,

I agree on the concept of LVM being a good, unified management system.

The fact that LVM requires you to vgimport to get access to the volume group prior to mounting is a small price to pay for the benefits that lvm provides.

Linux now provides GFS, which allows cluster clients to mount with a simple mount_gfs command. This is similar to what you wish and Linux has LVM ported quite nicely.

both hpux and sun have crappy volume manager support by default. Solstice is hardly a volume manager in my book.

zfs looks very promising though, judging by the demos i saw online.
