11 Where I work, all of our servers (sadly) run MS Windows. I know I'm
12 preaching to the choir here, but MS Windows servers are... more than
13 mildly annoying, to understate my feelings. Currently one of our big
14 concerns at work is diskspace on one of our main fileservers. Currently
15 it has a 1.2 terabyte volume, but that's just not big enough anymore.
16 And there's no easy way to fix this. Every day I'm sitting there,
17 thinking about this, and I just keep going "WTF isn't this server
18 running Linux using LVM on this volume? Make problem go bye-bye..."

20 LVM is very nice.
