Hi, while I'm not able to really answer your question (I'm not that LVM knowledgeable), but you are lacking some bit of crucial information: On Thu, 2004-12-02 at 18:12 -0800, Gwen Morse wrote: > However, that looks like it mostly deals with a single > hard drive being copied to another single hard drive. > We have a raid array, which looks like it's covered > more under this: > http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/recipemovevgtonewsys.html There is a big difference if this array is hardware or software based. If you can provide that piece of information, people will be able to help you better. ~David The situation (as I think it is) is that mail server is on a hardware RAID system formatted with LVM, but, the question I've been sent to answer is whether it's possible to connect that hardware RAID sub-system to another hardware RAID sub-system, using a _software_ RAID 1 (mirror), and have that software RAID be stable enough to allow the two systems to to function, _while_ the mail server is...uuhhh...serving mail :). Soooo... Old Mail server (Hardware RAID w/LVM) ==> Software RAID 1 mirror == > New Mail Server (empty hardware RAID) What is wanted is to take the mail server offline long enough to set up the software mirror, but, put it back online while the copying/synching is going on, so that we don't lose server access during that time.
