It's more about me being more used to using LVM. Also, more used to Linux as well. BSD is not something I have much experience with and until recently, none with ZFS. Even the little experience I have with BSD was well over a decade ago, maybe two decades ago. I barely remember it really. By replacing ZFS with LVM, I'm working with something I'm familiar with and less likely to mess up things. Things get messed up enough without adding more confusion. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
