Re: EVMS or Cluster LVM

It don't means much.

To support EVMS means:
- to use it internally in Novell, at least for some installations
- to run QA tests with it on every new update
- to adjust all startup services and have a well tested documentation 
aligned with the current version
- in case of evms, test it in the cluster.

1 year ago (in 2007) we could see EVMS/OCFSv2 cluster running in the 
LinuxWorld, so we knew that (at least someone in Novell) works with it.
But I never saw anyone mentioned evms since this event 1 year ago.

(Btw, the same with iSCSI - ok, Novel always called iSCSI as a primary 
thing, but it was not aligned with LVM and was not aligned with mount in 
SLES10-release, and I doubt that much changed since this time. I need to 
edit iscsi scripts even in old and rock solid SLES9 SP3/SP4 to make them run 
properly - for example, to run mounts syncronously so that otehr services 
can depend on iSCSI, not saying about making lvm and cluster work with 
iscsi - which required chanegs in a few iscsi commands and few fixes in 
lvm).

So, can anyone confirm that EVMS is still really supported (and used) by 
Novell?
