Well, then you are doing software raid10, even though not with md. :-) But yes, the above description is ambiguous, and indeed lvm can do striping and mirroring (could before md was invented, or even before Linux ever got either). I once compared raid0 with md vs. lvm striping (being used with the latter from hp-ux), and decided to go with the former. There wasn't much difference in speed as I recall, but md allowed making bootable raid1 and it seemed better supported in Linux. -- Tapani Tarvainen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
