Hi -- I just installed lvm on three 160 GB IDE hard drives, giving me a singe 480 GB partition. I followed the instructions: http://www.sistina.com/lvm_howtos/lvm_howto/Setting_up_LVM_on_three_S.html and the install went exactly as described. I did a "vanilla" install (doing nothing special). My question is: Do I loose all my data if any of the three disks crashes? And if so, what can I do to improve the "restore-ability" of my configuration. Thanks, Dave _______________________________________________ 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
