1. Enterprise Volume Management System (core) The EVMS project provides unparalleled flexibility and extensibility in managing storage. This project represents a new approach to logical volume management. The architecture introduces a plug-in model that allows for easy expansion or customization of various levels of volume management. In order to make use of it, you must use a kernel which includes the EVMS patch, available in the kernel-patch-evms package. This package contains core infrastructure for EVMS, and the utilities evms_rediscover, evms_devnode_fixup and evms_info_level. From Debian 3.0r0 APT
