I've been reading about LVM, and it sounds simply awesome!
I'm running 2.6.0 kernels, so to set it up I can use LVM2 and the support that's
already built in to the kernel.
So my question is: How safe is it, really? I'm only reading about it now but
it sounds like it's actually been around for a while. Does this mean that it's
safe and stable and usable?
In short... if anyone here can tell me now why I *shouldn't* use LVM2 on my
system, speak now or forever hold your peace :-)
Anyone have any horror stories they can share to talk me out of it?
2 other related questions:
(1) Anyone have their root partition on LVM with the 2.6 kernel? What's it like?
what do you have to do to set it up?
(2) If something were to go wrong, how could I get at my partitions from, say,
another system? Would Knoppix or LiveCD (for example) enable me to mount my LVM
partitions to do some kind of data-retrieval?
Thanks for any info you can give me.
