Thin provisioned LV + raid5?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I want to create a thin pool that will be used for storing virtual machines (inside separate thin volumes).
The thing is I can't find if that thin pool can be at the same time --type raid5 (or similar) at the same time?

Would something like this be possible:

lvcreate -T virtvg/virtpool -L 500G --type raid5

Or maybe the whole approach is wrong?
What I want to do in the end is a thin pool/volumes that are replicated in some way - ideally raid5, if not - mirrored.

Is this implemented and supported in LVM, or is hardware raid recommended to handle the redundancy in thin provisioned storage?


Regards,
Vasil
