LVM does RAID-1 only if you turn on mirroring for a LV. LVM can't possible be "better" without the redundancy - at which point you have RAID. _______________________________________________ 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/
