Having looked at the RAIDframe documentation you referenced, it strikes me that it cannot really move towards LVM and still be RAIDframe. It is a framework for doing rapid prototyping of RAID systems (and presumably their operation), and is available on a wide variety of platforms. To do anything else would be to change the fundamental nature of the beast. > It can > certainly build upon whatever LVM layer appears in GEOM. My experience has been that a good RAID/LVM system also needs a lot of support from the filesystem, and skimming through the RAIDframe documentation, it seems that I am not alone in this opinion. What work has been done (or identified) to make the filesystem more suitable for use with RAID/LVM systems? At the most basic, do we have things like "growfs" and "shrinkfs"? -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles_at_skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
