We have a new Compaq server, with a Raid Controller capable of handling 12 SCSI HD's - We currently only have 5 (In Raid 5) We want to be able to "grow" the data partition as need dictates(i.e. Add new HD's, grow the Raid 5 array, and data partition) - LVM looks the way to go. My *usual* partitioning scheme, is: /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /boot (100M) /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 / (all of the disk not used by /boot and swap.) /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 /swap (~1G) I'm installing via Debian-Installer(Beta-4) - Which gives LVM options...Would I create all my partitions as per my "normal" setup, but mark them as LVM? Hopefully someone out there has a similar setup and can provide some suggestions/best pratices?
