[linux-lvm] LVM in the Linux kernel

[Heinz Mauelshagen]

Hi Ole,

Linus gets the LVM kernel patches since several months,
he is aware of our petition (more than 1000 nice people on it 8*),
he got triggered by Dirk Hohndel of SuSE several times

_but_

he didn't give any statement at _all_ directly to me or on any list 8*(((

IMHO the inclusion of LVM in the SuSE distribution will help a lot...

Regards,
Heinz
