[K12OSN] LVM - is anyone using this?

[Petre Scheie]

Julius-
Have you tried ext2online, which, on my box anyway, is called by e2fsadm which 
works similarly to HP's fsadm?  It requires a kernel patch (which I haven't 
installed), but it sounds like it would bring it pretty close to HP's jfs.  But 
I agree the Linux LVM is clumsy compared to HP's.
