The combination of LVM with a journalled filesystem under Linux is similar to AdvFS under Tru64. One difference is that with Linux LVM you have to unmount a partition to resize it. Another is that AdvFS allows you to defragment a live filesystem. > Backups can be done with the vdump and vrestore. The disadvantage of this is that your backups aren't portable to another OS. There are no special backup tools for LVM partitions under Linux. Just use pax, tar, cpio, afio or whatever you normally use (but not dump)! -- Ian
