Normally you setup an MD raid to run LVM on top of. I normally do this: /sda1 /sdb1 128M md0 raid1 ext2 /boot /sda2 /sdb2 10G md1 raid1 ext3 / /sda3 /sdb3 lots md2 raid1 PV for LVM LVM then contains stuff like 20G /home, 2G swap, giant /data and whatever else I need. I could probably conbine / and /boot now that grub seems to support md raid1. > Without going into further details, has anyone else tried to configure > an MD within an LVM using the amd64 install? > > I'm wondering about using EVMS to reconfigure the /home LVM container > that was created at install. EVMS is something else entirely and does not (last I checked) work with the standard LVM in the kernel which is what the debian installer sets up. > Also how do those using MD (raid1) handle the SWAP partition?
