Hi Mark;
You suggest FCP for larger disk allocations, and we've looked at that here,
but we've back-burnered it for two reasons.
The first is mirroring. With our mainframe DASD, we get mirroring for free
(meaning that it requires no software or CPU time or additional I/Os within
our Linux guests)
orked fine when I was installing all of root on a single minidisk...

You say you want "striping", but then you say you only have one volume
defined in the volume group... These two things are mutually exclusive.
The only way to have striping is to have multiple devices. The whole concept
of striping is to put sequential blocks of the logical volume on different

You need to remember that you can't start more than 1 I/O to an
address (real or virtual!) at a time. This is a hardware restriction.
This is why PAV was invented - so that the PAV alias addresses can be
used to start parallel I/Os to the same base volume. So - if you
don't have PAV, then it wil

So, does that mean you did put a partition on the volume? It's not really
clear from your answer.

Did you partition the disks you placed in the LVM? You need to use
/dev/dasdc1 rather than /dev/dasdc, as an example.
We install with everything except the /boot in LVM controlled filesystems,
splitting out /, /var, /tmp, /home, and /opt into their own filesystems.

I was trying to do this with a new guest by putting the following
directories in LVM (group "system" with one volume-204):
/usr
/var
/opt
/home
The rest of the root filesystem (including /boot) is on a regular
physical volume (200), and the
13 matches
