Should I aggregate them with software RAID, or using LVM in regard to data safety? If one of them malfunctions, is one of the two approaches better?Mirrored raid would be the tool for this. LVM will not help should one of the disks fail.
LVM can do raid1 too , but md (software raid) is better . Regards , Alex
