[Ocfs2-users] Any alternative to LVM?

[Angelo McComis]

Hello João:

I'm a fellow sles10-3 user. In sles you have to use evms. Under
sles11, there is clvm. But clvm is not on sles10.

Evms is a pain in my opinion. I have tons of problems with it after
reboots where my /dev/evms/<block dev> devices disapear. Your results
may vary. Good luck though.
