On one, for example, I have four disks. I create two RAID1 arrays, /dev/md0 and /dev/md1. Then I create a LVM volume group, adding both /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 as physical volumes. Then I create whatever logical volumes I want. It works very well. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
