The only problem I had was after an upgrade from 0.8 to 0.9-beta1. Upgrading to 0.9-beta5 was painles. I moved PVs from disk to disk, grew partitions, etc. In my opinion it´s just as stable as AIX-lvm, and more stable than veritas VM. I can highly recommend it. I also tried the combination of raid and LVM without success, but I had to do it on a redhat-box (company policy), and it was difficult to get all needed patches into the kernel. This should be easier on debian, because redhat uses a non-standard kernel, which is not easy to patch. I thing today it should be possible, maybe easy. I recommend the lvm mailing list for technical questions. Greetings, Christoph
