I dislike LVM, IMO it makes handling much more complicated and doesn't
provide real advantages, OTOH since "old school unix" was mentioned, if
you like it complicated, UFS for my taste is complicated.
I never found out how to access UFS by Linux, ok I never really try to
learn how to do this. I can't access more than this:
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda1
Disk /dev/sda1: 62.1 GB, 62092509696 bytes, 121274433 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x90909090
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1p4 * 0 49999 25000 a5 FreeBSD
Strange, that it's that easy to get access to FAT and NTFS, but not to
the Unix File System ;). So perhaps Linux is closer to IBM/DOS, than to
UNIX ;p.
I'm just kidding,
