I couldn't imagine using LVM on a server without it being on RAID. Although I've only been using LVM for less than a year, I've installed it ontop of hard and software RAID-1 on several different servers including on Xen virtual machines and it has all been fine. Just make sure that you don't expect LVM to keep your data if you lose a drive and are not doing RAID underneath. ;-) On Tue, Sep 19, 2006 at 09:53:58PM GMT, Alexander Lazarevich [alazarev@itg.uiuc.edu] said the following: > We have several RAID devices (16-24 drive Fiber/SCSI attached RAID) which > are currently single devices on our 64bit linux servers (RHEL-4, core5). > We are considering LVM'ing 2 or more of the RAID's into a LVM group.
