>1.1. Why choose EVMS?</H1
|
|
><P
|
|
>EVMS lets you manage storage space in a way that is more
|
|
intuitive and flexible than many other Linux volume management systems.
|
|
Practical tasks, such as migrating disks or adding new disks to your
|
|
Linux system, become more manageable with EVMS because EVMS can
|
|
recognize and read from different volume types and file systems.
|
|
EVMS provides additional safety controls by not allowing commands that are
|
|
unsafe.
|
|
These controls help maintain the integrity of the data stored on the system.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>You can use EVMS to create and manage data storage.
|
|
With EVMS, you can use multiple volume management technologies under one
|
|
framework while ensuring your system still interacts correctly with
|
|
stored data.
|
|
With EVMS, you are can use drive linking, shrink and expand volumes,
|
|
create snapshots of your volumes, and set up RAID
|
|
(redundant array of independent devices) features for your system.
|
|
You can also use many types of file systems and manipulate these storage pieces
|
|
in ways that best meet the needs of your particular work environment.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>EVMS also provides the capability to manage data on storage that is
|
|
physically shared by nodes in a cluster. This shared storage allows data to
|
|
be highly available from different nodes in the cluster.</P
