Thanks for adding that. I meant to put in a link to sistina, and didn't.
Yes, LVM is included with RH 8.0. In fact, you can set it up at install time.
I'm not sure that ext3 will expand "on the fly" though. I haven't tried. But ReiserFS, jfs, and xfs all will.

lvm homepage, has HOWTO, etc
I'd also suggest looking into a filesystem that expands easily on the fly, reiserFS, jfs (needs a patch), xfs, etc. I'd also grab the latest toolset for lvm from there as well.
I'm not sure on 8.0, but on 7.2 and 7.3, the RH kernel doesn't have lvm in the kernel by defualt, IIRC

OK, cool. Thanks for the rant.
Now, how about a pointer to more information on LVM, like a HOWTO, whether
it's installed by default in 7.2/7.3/8.0, where to get it, etc. instead????
