Is there an implementation of an LVM in FreeBSD ?
Vinum is not sufficient. I am looking for a true LVM where creating and 
resizing volumes is a must. Something like Solaris Disksuite with 
softpartitioning is something I could live with already, but it just 
does not seem to exist.

Am I correct? I'd hate to have to consider Linux as the OS for this new 
platform because of the one flaw in FreeBSD I can't live with :(

Thanks,
 Stephan
