Aiming to get a couple of 1Tb drives to migrate the 3x500Gb RAID5
array to a RAID1 and use two of the 500Gb drives for thhe new boot
drive with LVM (With /boot / /home and so on on it).
Any suggestions gratefully recieved.
One suggestion: think very carefully about whether you really want to do
this.
I'm currently in my third day of rebuilding a machine that had /boot and
/ on an LVM volume on raided disks. After one drive died, I ended up in
a weird mode where LVM was mounting one of the component drives, rather
than the raid volume - with the long result being that I'm reinstalling
the o/s from scratch and hoping that my backups are good enough that I
haven't lost any user data.
Sigh...
