Re: LVM on RAID

["Matthew B. Brookover" <mbrookov@mines.edu>]

I have used LVM on top of software raid and ISCSI.  It works well.  It also helps keep track of what device is where.  ISCSI does not export its targets in the same order, some times sdb shows up as sdc....   LVM will keep track of what is what.
