mdadm raid5 with lvm: advantages?

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

 



Hi,

I'm building a new RAID5 array (of 5 1.5 TB drives) with mdadm and
would like to know theÂbenefits of creating an LVM on top of this are
instead of just creating the filesystem on the md directly. I've never
had a problem growing the array and then resizing the filesystem
before and wondered if in this situation the only gain would be lvm
snapshot stuff? I'm planning to use ext4 for this array, if that makes
any difference.

Thanks in advanced,

Rich
