I've played with LVM on HP-UX, but only just enough to get a firm handle on the fact that I don't understand the complexities of it, and that is easy to screw up, but hard to fix :-)
So, I find myself building a Debian MytTV machine. In addition to the 40G root drive, I installed 2 other drives, a 60G (/dev/hdb), and a 120G (/dev/hdd). What I want to do is create one large "virtual disk" out of these, then I will then create a XFS filesystem on and use to store various multimedia files for mythtv. I want the disks to be "striped" if that is possible with different size disks? I've installed the lvm (1) packages, and I've read the HOWTO. Here is what I came up with: fdisk both disks, creating a single partition on each one of type 8e pvcreate /dev/hdb1 pvcreate /dev/hdd1 vgcreate mythtv /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdd1 And then I should be ready to create a filesystem on this "virtual disk". Is it really that simple?
