I have a problem which I want to solve as efficiently as possible. The problem is that I have 13 drives os various sizes (30-120GB) which I want to combine into one (or a few) logical volumes with redundancy if one drive would fail. How would the smartest layout be? I was thinking about multiple partiontions and then combine them into several RAID 5 chains, and then use LVM to manage the logical volumes. There is an expamle of my ideas at http://www.tnonline.net/raid-lvm.png As you can see there are 8 chains and about 50 GB unallocated data in this example. Can I minimize the loss even better? Any help or insight in this would be greatly appreciaded //Anders _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
