> That's what my question was: Will raid0 (striping) be faster or easier to manage than lvm striping I don't know about faster but IMO it'll be easier with raid0. With LVM you have to specify striping *every* time you create a new LV. With an underlying raid0 array as the sole physical volume, you can create the LV knowing it's striped. One less switch to forget. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
