I'm going to buy a second disk to add to my system. I want to mirror my current LVM setup for redundancy. So far, on older systems, I've always used software RAID 1 or 5 arrays with LVM on top. I've never had any problems with it, mainly because I've been lucky and have never had disk failures.
Currently, I have no software RAID on my system yet. Just a small /boot partition, and a huge LVM partition for everything else. I recently discovered I could use LVM's mirroring capabilities. This would probably be easiest and fastest for me, since I wouldn't have to try shove a software RAID array beneath my existing PV's. On the other hand, software RAID with LVM on top seems to be the tried and trusted Linux way. I haven't even found a comparison between the two yet. Please share your LVM mirroring experiences. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
