Plus it can replace software RAID as well (at least for RAID1). I'm looking into it as my next experiment. Assuming it works well under Xen (or vice-versa actually). With LVM i create a logical volume, format it (or not), and give it to a Xen guest as a physical drive which will then hold the OS (which may have different FSs). I'll have to grok how ZFS does that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
