In general, you will lose everything. Technically: A drive is used to create a PV (Physical Volume). One or more PVs is used to create an LV (Logical Volume). If the drive containing a PV fails, that PV becomes unavailable. If an LV needs a PV, and that PV is unavailable, the LV will become unavailable as well. -- Ben Scott <bscott@ntisys.com> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
