As an extension of this question since I'm working on setting up a system now.
What is better to do with LVM2 after the RAID is created. I am using EVMS also. 1. Make all the RAID freespace a big LVM2 container and then and then create LVM2 volumes on top of this big container. or 2. Parcel out the RAID freespace into LVM2 containers for each partiton (/, /user, etc.). > > From: "Richard Fish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/02/20 Mon AM 11:04:55 EST > To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] raid/partition question > > On 2/20/06, Nick Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > i think im confusing myself here. can you partition a raid device aka > > /dev/md0? > > Yes.
