  Just FYI, IBM's EVMS and Sistina's LVM are two completely different
implementations of similar things.  Both support snapshots, but only at the
device level -- you have to mount the snapshot as another filesystem to
access it.  Not at all like the NetApp mechanism.

  We haven't tried EVMS, but LVM has been working fine for us for several
months now.
