Well, "not worth" is too hard. One of the main benefits of LVM |
| 15 |
is, that you can easily extend (and theoretically shrink) |
| 16 |
filesystems. Since ext* can, in practicallity, only be resized |
| 17 |
offline, one of the benefits goes away. Also, extending and |
| 18 |
shrinking ext* takes *AGES*, as you MUST run "e2fsck -f $dev" |
| 19 |
beforehand. |

That's wrong. I suppose that those are your ext* fs? |
| 24 |
If so, you can perfectly fine resize those fs while |
| 25 |
they are offline. |

No. Get rid of ext*. reiser3 and xfs are mature, use those |
| 32 |
instead. |

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then |
| 37 |
you clearly don't understand the situation. |
