The EVMS team subsequently decided to terminate development of the EVMS kernel patches (although they would continue to support them for the 2.4 stable kernel) and to port their management tools to support LVM2. So the days of EVMS are numbered. In some respects its a shame - I thought EVMS was a better solution since it tightly integrated logical volumes and software RAID. Howver as I understand the EVMS kernel patch was *huge*, and duplicated existing functionality, so I guess Linus' descision was understandable. Alan
