Hi Sam,

  I was digging around in ext2resize man pages, and noticed a lot of 
references to LVM, I'd also heard something about LVM hitting a 1.0
status.  So I got curious about it... I haven't looked around for
information yet...

- What sources of information on LVM would you recommend?

- Is there much of a performance hit on LVM'd versus non-LVM'd filesystems?

- Do you think things are stable enough for everyday use?

- Do you think distributions will start installing LVM'd filesystems?

    Curious,
      Mike
