Wouldn't it be more sensible to mirror the disks, then stick your LVs on top of that? This is what I have done with a software RAID5 array. At first this didn't work, as the startup scripts Gentoo provide initialise LVM before MD, but that was easily changed. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/kFDaInuLMrk7bIwRAlVKAKCL7QcheuL6uw7vgX9y2+bT6FA/AQCgjAZZ Koz9o0FWAHHzz6gSfFBBMF0= =vntA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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/
