Modern distributions should/will come with LVM out of the box, and you don't need to do anything drastic (other than a kernel upgrade) to use it anyway. It's not a priority. But if you really want it, code it yourself. The code is NativeFSDirectory, we already use part of the hashCode() of the FileNumber to allocate a bucket - you could use a different part of the hash code to allocate a store. > > -- > Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." > greg at wooledge.org | - The Red Hot Chili Peppers > http://wooledge.org/~greg/ |
