Hello all, I'd like to use something like LVM under FreeBSD, as I have a server running FBSD 7 and I don't know what space to give to what partition, and as I plan on installing postfix+courier-imap soon, I'd like to have some way to share the 235GB left on my drive between /home (legal torrents), and /var (www, mails, etc) I had a look at GEOM and (g)vinum, and none of them seem to accept resize of partition, while LVM (under linux) accept hotresizing of ext2/3 & ReiserFS filesystems. Do yoy know of any solution available as port that would provide me with the same features as LVM ? (resize of partitions while running, to adapt /var to my needs without copying, unmouting, resizing, rebooting, etc) Can LVM be used in FreeBSD ? can the default kernel read & write ext3 partitions ? I might try to install LVM on a primary partition. Thank you in advance for your input. -- nicodache
