Another datapoint ot consider, it seems that Linux (at least the derivative version maintained by Alan Cox -- the other one :) ) has now grown an LVM system (probably à la HP or AIX). That's what I've been told yesterday during a small conference about Linux and free software in France (and where I did a talk about FreeBSD *grin*). I think one of the difficulty of growing a FS is that you have to choose whether you need the FS to be contiguous or not. The latter case makes it much more difficult... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #71: Sun May 9 20:16:32 CEST 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
