Well, Linux and *BSD are still lacking robust implementations of logical
volumes. Things probably will change in the near future, as SGI is
already porting XFS to Linux. With SGI moving towards a Linux platform
for its low-end servers, XLV (the logical volumes layered on top of XFS)
are bound to arrive there as well, sooner or later.
