One very big reason to have been using it on linux - since it is only |
| 6 |
relatively recently that zfs has been an option, and now btrfs is |
| 7 |
getting there - and about the only reason I use it, is for snapshots, |
| 8 |
which bring consistent point-in-time backups for things like mail |
| 9 |
servers.... |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Others use it for it filesystem resizing abilities, but I've only had to |
| 12 |
do this once or twice and that was a long time ago - but, I was able to |
| 13 |
do it... :) |

Yes, zfs, and now btrfs, now offer much better support for both of these |
| 16 |
and then some, but they weren't around/available for linux until |
| 17 |
relatively recently, which LVM was stable and mature. |
