How many people use LVM's in their production servers? Are they reliable for use in these sorts of systems? I am asking this because i was reading the LVM Howto about upgrading discs etc. Regards, Peter

However people from my LUG have been using it and claim this to be rock steady... -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux
I use it everywhere, wouldn't be without it, especially on Centos/RHEL 4 where you can resize filesystems live (you have to umount the partition in Centos/RH 3) Once you've had just one major instance of resizing a filesystem without having to mess about copying to/from backup or a temporary partition, you'll never go back.

We use LVM directly (LVM whole disk, no partition tables) on top of 3ware hardware raid on about ten NFS servers (total 35 TiB). Filesystem size (and therefore LVM lv and vg sizes) are 0.4 - 3.6 TiB. All is well. We are currently using a non-centos kernel but LVM has behaved nicely on stock kernel too. /Peter K On Tuesday 10 January 2006 03:33, Peter Kitchener wrote:> How many people use LVM's in their production servers?
