In response to Paul. "For "reliability of data" I was thinking of using either ext3 or reiserfs across a RAID set." I have had some bad experience with ReiserFS but it was probably caused by a low kernel version (2.4.16). Otherwise ReiserFS rocks when it comes to resizing filesystems etc. I would go with ext3 if I were you, I migrated to ext3 because of my problems (kernel crash). Don't use ReiserFS with kernels below version (and including) 2.4.16 I would have tested ReiserFS if I had the chance on a newer kernel but I was not able (for several reasons) to upgrade to 2.4.18 or 2.4.19 /Tomas ------------------------\|//------------------------ --------------------uUU--00--UUUu------------------- Tomas Roos, Crepido Systems AB Address: Box 6131, S-40060 Göteborg Sweden Visit: Karl Johansgatan 27 mailto:tomas@crepido.com http://www.crepido.com Tel: +46(0)31-7751850 Cell: +46(0)709 545977 ---------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ 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
