I have had many many troubles with the linux LVM itself. I would
rather suggest using a well configured linux softare raid. This is
much more stable than LVM! I lost 250GB because of LVM and did not
have a backup. With software raid on linux this would not have
happened....
That's a little vague... How long ago was this.. and what was going on
when you had the failure? Was it an LVM failure.. or something
related.. like a non redundant dead drive.. or file system issue?
Software raid is not exactly a replacement for LVM.. espicially when
talking about the snapshot feature..
