* [linux-lvm] Inclusion of LVM into the Linux Kernel... [not found] <Pine.LNX.3.96.990907125052.19808B-100000@zeke.sympatico.ca> @ 1999-09-07 17:53 ` Dominic J.

Eidson @ 1999-09-07 17:53 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Linus Torvalds; +Cc: Linux-LVM Hi Linus, As you (may or may not) know, Heinz Mauelshagen has written a LVM implementation for Linux, and the wish that this be included in the main kernel tree (not just as part of Alan's -ac patches), is out there. According to a post Heinz made to the linux-lvm mailing list (http://linux.msede.com/lvm/mlist/archive/0286.html), the issue had already been proposed to you, however you responded that you wanted to wait before LVM was included into the kernel, to see weather there was enough interest out there for it. The first suggestion was that everybody e-mail you and express their interest, however we quickly decided that you would be rather un-grateful for all the spam (as I'm sure you get more than enough e-mail in one day) - and we suggested a petition which those interested could sign, and then we could present it to you. The petition is in no way intended as "peer pressure", or intended to try to force you into including LVM into the kernel - by no means - it is merely an attempt to show that the interest *is* out there, and that we believe that Linux would benefit (especially when dealing with large corporations) from having a good LVM implementation. The "petition" can be found at the following address: http://www.the-infinite.org/lvm_petition/ Sincerely, Dominic J. Eidson (and the rest of the Linux-LVM mailing list) -- Dominic J.

I have just submitted my second post to Slashdot. The first post was submitted last week and I assume did not get posted to the site. I do not think it would hurt if other people also posted to Slashdot. Does anyone know if we are even on Linus' radar? Any news? Shane ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
