LVM is a dandy tool, especially after having juggled partitions trying to shoehorn stuff on my not-so-large HDs. Unfortunately, it is a layer between the usual data tools and the data.
What is needed is a LVM data/directory mapping tool that can be niced away and croned. Some way of extracting data "raw" from LVM volumes could be devised based on this map, I think. Backups? Should be done. Unfortunately, not always possible without contiguous space for intermediate storage for the backup medium, i.e. 4gig for a DVD. Offsite backups are crippled by upload speed limitations of internet providers. One must simply spring for that multi-terra USB or NAT and hope the job ever finishes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
