Wait, how do you consider lvm "not really used at scale by the general populace"? Throughout the last several years, be it Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, etc., most distros tend to default to an LVM-driven partitioning scheme, I believe.
Disclaimer: I work at Red Hat, though nowhere near filesystems.
- bubblethink 5y agoI mean the fancier things like thin provisioning, snapshots and other features built on top of lvm as a means to provide zfs like functionality. Vanilla lvm is fine, which is what is used be everyone. I have been bitten twice by lvm related issues. Once because metadata storage in lvm thin provision got full (no idea why defaults are so low), and once because snapshots by snapper stopped working (i.e., they wouldn't rotate eventually causing a disk full situation) because an selinux policty update borked snapper.
