All,
I've never used LVM under Fedora. I did use something similar under AIX
probably 10-15 years ago. I've been using linux for since slackware (on
floppies) and kernel version 0.99.4, but I've always used the old
standard of partitioning hard drives and creating filesystems on those
partitions (even terabyte raids :-). Now I'm considering using LVM for a
fedora 10 system I'm setting up, but have one question. Under the "old
way" if a disk dies, you lose the files on that disk that weren't backed
up, but only that disk. Under LVM, if I have a logical volume that is
made up of more than one physical volume, what happens if one of the
physical volumes goes bad? Is the logical volume toast? Do you have to
recreate the whole logical volume from scratch?
Thanks in advance for any help!
John
