Hi,
Someone posted a howto they wrote that detailed Root-on-LVM-on-RAID
HOWTO to debian-user.
I am copying & pasting their post:
<post>
I've written a doc on how to install a Debian with root file system over
LVM and RAID.
If it's of any interest it can be found at this URL:
http://www.midhgard.it/docs/index_en.html
Any suggestion/criticism/correction is welcome.
