I am in the process of planning out a medium sized server (500 users, 500GB) to host user accounts in our school district. I will be using Samba... Do you think using LVM is a reliable method of sharing home directories? I have been reading the lists, and I notice that in a lot of cases, if one drive dies, you usually lose a lot of information. If so, should I be looking at LVM or LVM2? I haven't seen a comparison sheet on what 2 offers over the standard... Thanks for your help. -- Matthew Daubenspeck http://www.oddprocess.org 14:26:00 up 1 day, 5:44, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.02, 0.00 _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
