This is my first attempt (in many years) to install Linux (Debian this time) on zSystem. We have a new zBC12 with 56GB and 2CP & 1IFL. I've gone through the install a number of times and ran into road blocks, particularly on how to setup my 6 3390-3s. I've done some RAID 0, LVM, but still had some problems (ZIPL was the big one, something about / fs had to be the first encountered).
I believe if I use (software) RAID 0, I can't extend it. So, I'm think LVM on everything except / and /boot. I have / and /boot on the first DASD (200) as 2.4GB and 60MB respectively. I plan on having all of the others in Volume Groups within LVM. With LVM I can extend the size of the fs's as the need arises. Thoughts? Frank M.
