....which is a shame for IBM. EVMS worked (and I guess still works, but I've removed it months ago for the same reasons as Steinar) very well. The upstream developers spent a lot of energy into moving from the "old" evms code towards supporting lvm, md and dm, it would be really sad if this effort would be thrown away. EVMS could make volume management an easy task for the "non-admin" type of user, if somebody would spend some time into it. Not to forget that it manages to handle almost all weird stuff you can do with disks and volumes. Steinar, thanks for maintaining it during the last years!
