Tom,
We are running a RedHat 7-point-something system with Samba and Apache.
When we are loading files via Samba and someone is looking at

the same file with Apache, the kernel crashes.
I remember a kernel oops with Samba, but I believe it was SLES-7. Apache
was not involved. As

If you're going to upgrade to SUSE, don't use SLES8, get SLES9. Otherwise
you'll be facing the same situation of being unsupported much quicker.
To answer your basic question, yes I think an upgrade of that nature will
make that problem go away. Other problems will take its place (the nature

I had problems moving root file system to LVM. It has to be done with a
lot of care. However, if you move /home /var /local /opt etc to LVM, then
there is much less reason for moving root fs to LVM. That is what I did.

Is it true, note that I haven't tried it, that if you try to use LVM for
everything, you still need a /boot volume, just a few cylinders, for IPL
purposes? I'm thinking that LVM is a software raid, so you have to have
the software running before you can use it.

I don't think it can. We boot from a 100 cyl /boot fs and have a logical

I would imagine that the SLES9 option would simply select an appropriate set
of packages for such a server, and perhaps create an FTP directory structure
to support it. Do a trial install of SLES9, then do the same thing with
SUSE 9 Professional.

Forgive me but I'm relatively ignorant to this business.

Because LVM is necessary to allow those file systems to be larger than a

My rule-of-thumb is to only use LVM when it's necessary, as in providing more

free space and crash the system. Our LVMs hold

I forgot to mention in my original question that /boot wouldn't be in

Thank you for pointing out the fsck time consideration. Doesn't having
ext3 fs reduce the fsck time?
My motivation in considering LVM is to get a general solution to my
Linux dasd
Yes, ext3 reduces/eliminates fsck time on a reboot.
The thing to keep in mind is that the value of LVM is in being able to
add/remove disk volumes from a volume group without having to move/rebuild
the whole file system. If you break out all your file systems that don't
have to be in the root

I used to take this approach also, until the umpteenth time I wanted to add
just a little more space to a file system, and I had to wind up copying the
entire contents off to a bigger piece of disk, verifying the copy is good,
unmounting, remounting the new one, retiring the old piece of disk.
