[linux-lvm] INFO: bringing LVM into mainstream kernel

[Heinz Mauelshagen]

Hi all.

Because Marcus Ruehmann brought it up on this list i've send the LVM kernel
patch for 2.3.x to Alan Cox asking him to help us to bring it into
the mainstream 2.3.x kernel.

A couple of weeks ago i've already send it to Linus, didn't get an answer,
resent it again 2 weeks ago, didn't get an answer so far 8*(

We all know he's busy, busy, busy...


To hit our target as fast as possible i hereby ask everybody to
share his/her ideas to help getting LVM into the mainstream kernel.

Maybe somebody has the right budy to achieve it...


So, please go ahead.

Thank you very much!

Heinz

Hi Alan,

Heinz send you his _very nice_ lvm code to prepare for inclusion in
2.3.x.

I know that currently heavy modifications are done by Linus et al. but
anyway I guess _many_ people would appreciate to have this feature into
the kernel.

LVM helps a lot (and the _also nice_ raw dev from Stephen) to get Linux
into corporate world since those features strengthen the Linux database
position.

So, please please please convince Linus ;-)

Cheers
Marcus
