LVM question
I am very familiar with lvm because I'm a certified HP-UX geek.
If I install lvm for Red Hat 7.3 does it pretty much work like the HP-UX version? Can I use it to modify create, existing disk partitions?

Re: LVM question
I have been using LVM with RedHat 7.3 for several months and I never experienced data corruption.
Before that, I had been using LVM for 2 years on several SuSE versions and never corrupted data.
LVM for Linux is very similar to Hp-ux. The commands are the same and most of command-line options are similar.
Only one interesting thing : with Linux, the PV is a partition of a disk, not the whole disk. The LVM partition type is 0x8e.
Good luck.

Re: LVM question
I also use LVM for SuSE and have not had any issues. (Haven't tried it for RedHat yet.)
If you're worried, which sounds valid, maybe you can try abusing the install and commands on a test system before implementing?
Good Luck,
Kel

Re: LVM question
Thanks for the post.
8.0 products don't go even on my backup server.
My two Linux boxes are running a webhosting business and I won't take the risk until the OS release is more mature. This provides my family with real income and I must be cautious.
I will use lvm for display only purposes for now and see what happens when RH 8.X is a little older.

Re: LVM question
Short of it is they still ship the ridiculous SW RAID tools and tell folks to use it. Insanity for enterprise, good for 2 or 3 IDE drives to dump you MP3's but not LVM at all. Sistina has done a great job with LVM and the new LVM2. It does not have "issues" and I would be currious to learn abou the "and SuSE knows it" Who told you that from SuSE?
Ask Redhat for documented cases.
