It's more about me being more used to using LVM. Also, more used to |
| 28 |
Linux as well. BSD is not something I have much experience with and |
| 29 |
until recently, none with ZFS. Even the little experience I have with |
| 30 |
BSD was well over a decade ago, maybe two decades ago. I barely |
| 31 |
remember it really. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
By replacing ZFS with LVM, I'm working with something I'm familiar with |
| 34 |
and less likely to mess up things. Things get messed up enough without |
| 35 |
adding more confusion. ;-) |
