[gentoo-user] LVM and disk failure

2003-08-16 Thread Loopingz 
Hi,

I'd like to install a LVM Volume on my distrib without striping, i read
that a disk failure can cause the loss of a part of data or all data. I
understand why a disk crash can cause a loss of part of data but how can
it loss all data.

For example if i had 3 disks of 80 Go on /data and one disk crashes,
will i only loss 80 Go on data in /data or more ?

Thank you for helping

LVM containers accross multiple disks act like RAID0 in that if one disks 
fails, you've lost all your data.
