I just received an AlphaServer 1000A, and I am in the process of setting it
up. I've RTFM (sparse as those M's are), and I'm trying to get a grip on
Advanced File System and Logical Storage Manager.

First, what's the relationship between AdvFS and LSM? Specifically, what
does each provide me in terms of disk spanning, extending file systems,
etc. I have used Logical Volume Manager on HP-UX in the past. How does LSM
compare?

Second, what gotchas do I need to watch out for in implementing AdvFS/LSM?
More to the point, I can read Digital's rhapsodic reasons for using each,
but what are the disadvantages in implementing the packages?

TIA.
