NetBSD's LVM works great for me
I've been using LVM under NetBSD now in 7.0 since the release. I have
found it to be remarkably stable for such a newly implemented set of
features. Maybe I just haven't been doing enough to beat on it.
How possible/likely is it that NetBSD's LVM could get:
* LVM caching devices ala Linux. RHEL 7.1 intro'd this and it works
quite well. Ie.. using a fast disk to cache & front-end slower ones.
This way you can get a ZIL-like feature without having ZFS or any
specific file system.
* Some kind of DRBD-async-proxy-alike feature. I know this is the killer
pay-only feature in DRBD. It's also extremely wonderful. I'm probably
dreaming, but this would be awesome. It could be implemented in LVM
ala VxVM's "Volume Replicator" (which is also a "pay us a bit more
because we know you want this awesome feature"). It could also be done
standalone in a separate subsystem.
Thanks a ton for the hard work. Having LVM in BSD is blowing my mind in a
good way.
Thanks,
Swift
