Comments on Learning GEOM: Tastinghttp://romain.blogreen.org/blog/2007/08/learning-geom-tasting/ Comment by Tony ShadwickIt's stuff like this that makes me wish that I knew a language better than Perl. I so very much want LVM2 under FreeBSD, but I could never code it myself. :(

ATA over Ethernet pretty much winds up *demanding* LVM - it's not that you can't go without it, but the very purpose of being able to attach additional storage on a layer 2 ethernet interface is so that you can easily scale and grow volumes, and vinum just doesn't cut it. I've tried - believe me. I've wanted many times to like vinum. Instead, I've learned to hate it and avoid it like the plague. LVM2 however has always been a pleasure to work with. My hat is off to you and your work. If there is ever any way I can help just let me know. I want to keep using FreeBSD as my primary server OS, but the lack of support for LVM2 and OpenAFS may wind up driving me to Linux. :(
