NetBSD's LVM works great for me




I've been using LVM under NetBSD now in 7.0 since the release. I have found it to be remarkably stable for such a newly implemented set of features. Maybe I just haven't been doing enough to beat on it.

How possible/likely is it that NetBSD's LVM could get:

  * LVM caching devices ala Linux. RHEL 7.1 intro'd this and it works
    quite well. Ie.. using a fast disk to cache & front-end slower ones.
    This way you can get a ZIL-like feature without having ZFS or any
    specific file system.

  * Some kind of DRBD-async-proxy-alike feature. I know this is the killer
    pay-only feature in DRBD. It's also extremely wonderful. I'm probably
    dreaming, but this would be awesome. It could be implemented in LVM
    ala VxVM's "Volume Replicator" (which is also a "pay us a bit more
    because we know you want this awesome feature"). It could also be done
    standalone in a separate subsystem.

Thanks a ton for the hard work. Having LVM in BSD is blowing my mind in a good way.

Thanks,
  Swift
