Ok, my friend Chris Dukes wants a LVM-like thing for a free Unix. He's working with the Linux guys on creating one fairly similar to the one found on AIX. The question is, is anybody in the BSD world interested in such a thing? It would allow lots of neat things, like extendable partitions. Mirroring of logical partitions, etc. I'm very sure that they would like help with their project, and if some *BSD guys get involved with it, issues for us would be diminished (with respect to re-using their code in our kernels). Is anybody interested? If so, email Chris Dukes (cddukes@eos.ncsu.edu) and let him know. Signing up on the mailing list would be a nice bonus as well. Chris is doing lots of design work now. Oh, Chris has a 4/260, but he has sc scsi. (sigh, mumble, cough cough, prod ;) -- XCOMM Kevin P. Neal, Sophomore, Comp.
