Perhaps there is something wrong with that approach. Certainly in
regards to how to bridge the gap between what we now have for logical
volume support, and what we should have, or what BSD has, that approach
is demonstrably a perennial failure. After all these years, we still
have dm and md as separate islands, no usable snapshotting block device,
and roughly zero interaction between filesystems and volume managers.
The larger issue would be, why is there no design process in Linux for
large design issues? Maybe that is the core topic that is really missing.
Regards,
Daniel
