I built LVM into a RH 7.3 kernel and used it for a DB2 database box. Worked great with the dell 2650 and a 1 tb powervault 220s (raid5...aaarrrg...) with the perc3 raid controller. It passed our rather aggressive load testing cyle, ~7 days constant load w/ a variety of different tests, (broken queries, massive table joins, etc, stuff you WOULDN'T want to see in production) and passed with flying colors. It remained in production for a little under a year until we migrated to a Oracle on Linux solution w/o LVM (RedHat AS2.1). I'd do it again in a minute if the implementation called for it.....
I believe engineer is a JOB TITLE. It is not gained solely through college education or government edict. It is gained through years of study, and a measure (constant testing cyles) of skill and applicable knowledge (peer consent/approval). I have seen 'engineers' described in this forum that don't deserve to be addressed as such, but I am also seeing fine engineers slighted in the same sentence. Higher education and a degree do not make a good engineer, nor does a piece of paper from {your vendor here}. Engineering is the understanding, and most importantly, the applcation of a given trade. Again, just my $.02......
In a world everything is small and manageable. Unfortunately, some databases need tables BIGGER than 2gb. Even splitting that table into multiple files still finds you with files larger than two gb. Try adding more tables? OK. Now they've grown to over 2gb and the more tables the more complicated everthing gets. I still need to back these suckers up and a backup vendor that I won't name can't help me because their software wasn't large file (for Linux) ready. So let's get into the game with this and make it the default so we don't need to worry about these problems in the future. Linux IS an enterprise solution.....(my $.02)
That sounds to much like work and not enough like a game. To spice things up why don't they let the attackers utilize pyrotechnics to indicate a compromise...yeah.... that might be cool. And the defenders could administer minute electric shocks to the attackers if they get caught snooping. Or better yet in the case of caught redhanded in an attack charge them fifty bucks to simulate their ISP pulling their account...Yeah that would make me feel better....errr... I mean...that would be cool.

Intellect IS a property.
Latin intelligere -- inter and legere -- to choose between, to discern; Greek nous; German Vernunft, Verstand; French intellect; Italian intelletto).
The faculty of thought
Better terminology would be commercial invention, process, or procedure. Emphasis on the COMMERCIAL.

just my 2 cents.......
