As part of its ongoing commitment to Enterprise-level volume
management on Linux, IBM is announcing that it will contribute
portions of the AIX LVM to the Open Source Community. IBM will be
releasing this code as part of the Enterprise Volume Management
System (EVMS) project. This announcement means that EVMS will now
have support for 3 major volume management formats (Linux LVM, OS/2
and AIX) expanding on the flexibility provided by its pluggable
architecture. In conjunction with the Linux JFS
(http://oss.software.ibm.com/jfs) project, this enablement will
make it possible to move disk drives between Linux and AIX systems
and allow all data to be exchanged.
