I actually almost downloaded FreeBSD today, but after doing a little research, it doesn't look like I can keep my existing LVM, and I don't feel like backing up my backups, if that makes any sense. So we'll see how this goes. Someday soon, though, I think I will tackle BSD again. Yeah, that’s exactly it.

I think his problem with LVM is that he does not have the means to copy his data off the LVM, reformat, and copy stuff back. Therefore, his new system has to understand the existing LVM out of the box and not touch it. Hm.

But just for the record, fbsd has GEOM which does most, if not all, of the functionality of LVM2. But you would have to repartition your disks and start completely over with the disks - if that is what you mean by "work[ing] with the existing Linux implementation". And fbsd is used by a large percentage of the world in the file server role, as it is one of the most stables OSes for that role. However, this development of events is great - I will be able to get a super reliable first hand report on how Suse and Ubuntu compare, especially on the point that drove me away from Suse: system administration (just like you!). Have a great weekend! Well, you can’t rile me up that easily. But just for the record, fbsd has GEOM which does most, if not all, of the functionality of LVM2.
