I AM judging on the features and capabilities and completeness of the tools. My comments were meant as compliments for the progress of the tools from the old 2.2 kernel days, not an insult. My apologies if i've hit a nerve of some sort. However, that said. I'd still prefer, all things considered, to support a volume under aix's lvm than the current lvm2 stuff. However, I have NOT researched all the current options for lvm creation and management under lvm2. I will admit that. I wasn't trying to start a flamewar here, but I assure you....my homework has been done. > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
