Hell, I work for sistina (the people who write LVM and I'll tell you explicitly TEST first, Production later. I test everything we write before I use it in production. All our web, ftp, and cvs is up on GFS and we also have several disks joined together with LVM holding some other precious stuff at work and I tested it all before I emplyed it in production. I am now testing another GFS setup with two machines sharing a parallel SCSI RAID array, one doing NFS and another doin (shudder) Samba. and it's mounted by several workstations doing fairly heavy IO right now. it'll go like this for a couple weeks with varying levels of IO and IP blasts before I'll certify it with the Sistina Seal (image of a baby sea otter with a rock banging on a disk drive :-) of approval. Tim, if you wanna test it, do NOT hesitate to call on Sistina for help either officially (for cash) or unofficially (on the mailing lists and IRC) we'd be glad to help, we fully support hackers and business partners alike. Good luck and join our mailing lists http://www.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo they're hosted right here in Dinkytown. > >I was kidding a bit.
