Hi to all I have to setup some new servers, which is the best practise, currently? Should I use raw devices or partitions ? (one huge partition for mdadm, and then LVM on top of it) Any advantage/drawbacks for both configurations?
i would make partitions for 2 reasons: * leave some space free in case a replacement disk has a slighty different usebale size - some SSD's do this instead overprovisioning for wear leveling * whenever you decide you replace it against SSD's free space will enhance the overall lifetime -- 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
