I'm with Neil for my large arrays. I partition a pair of SSDs for UEFI boot and a raid mirror holding an LVM volume group for the OS. All other drives are unpartitioned, given entirely to a raid6 w/ a small chunk size (16k lately). A separate LVM volume group on top of that. ( I no longer use any bootloader, either, as UEFI will boot a kernel directly that's been built with EFI_STUB and a nested initramfs. ) Phil -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
