My research indicates a lot of changes, in this regard, since Woody; especially in the more recent 2.6.x kernels. I have found several HOWTO's based on Woody, and favoring Raid0/1; and most of those were written for Woody and 2.4.x kernels. Where is there a HOWTO for LVM on RAID that focuses on Sarge? Where is there a HOWTO for LVM on RAID that focuses on Raid5? How can this be done at initial install; rather than build on one disk, then build the Raid5 post-install? Which is better as boot loader in this scenario, Lilo or Grub? Is it better to leave a partition outside of the LVM? Which partition? Root (/)? /boot? Can this be done with everything on the Raid5? Can this be done with everything on the LVM? What do you think? -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 877.596.8237 - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
