i'm a LVM newbie trying to figure out how to setup volume groups on a new Linux system. the underlying physical volume will be a hardware RAID5 disk. i'm thinking about having a non-LVM root partition and a logical volume per each of the major mount points in the system (/usr, /home, /tmp, /var etc.) but i'm having problems deciding whether to start with a volume group per logical volume or just one volume group with all the logical volumes in it? is there any benefit from partitioning the RAID disk and having a separate volume group per mount point (with just one logical volume to start with) or should i have the RAID disk in just one partition, create one volume group and have all of the mount point logical volumes in that one volume group? -- aspa _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
