With ReiserFS? Addition: Should I better skip all the partitions on the volumes and stay only with the "raw" devices (maybe only hdX1) and create the partitions on the RAID5 array (something like md0pXXX and maybe md1 for a RAID1 boot device (the lilo thing))? Is ReiserFS usable on such a system, too? On my former "layout" it works so far and had for nearly a year. My cylinder layout and boot question stays. Which scheme should I use when LVM steps in? LVM -> RAID5 -> partitions or RAID5 -> LVM -> partitions Sorry for the "little" OT.
