I've been wanting to update it for more than a year now - but actually the information therein (with the exception of the links) is still up to date and correct. > Are there any HOWTOs that anybody knows about on how to do a RAID-5 with > LVM and a Reiser-FS filesystem?

As the HOWTO describes, RAID doesn't care or know about filesystems. RAID is the same, no matter which block device you put it on (IDE, SCSI, or some LVM (or RAID!) of other disks), and no matter which filesystem (if any) you put on it. RAID is a block device, made up from block devices. It is as simple as that :) I'm sorry I cannot comment on you LVM question, as I have never used LVM myself. -- ................................................................ : jakob@unthought.net : And I see the elder races, : :.........................: putrid forms of man : : Jakob Østergaard : See him rise and claim the earth, : : OZ9ABN : his downfall is at hand. : :.........................:............{Konkhra}...............: - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
