All the rest of my boxes have 2.6 and LVM, but no raid > (no duplicate hard drives). Fair question. I want it to work with "standard" partition tables such as MSDOS partitions etc. I would like to be able to take a single drive that is being used and has partitions on it, and to add an identical drive beside it, mirror them, and get a mirrored pair that looked much like the original drive. There are issues with the raid superblock but assuming they can be solved, I want partitioning to work easily. Can LVM work happily with 'legacy' partitioning information?
