Hi, I'm going to re-install gentoo on a small hobby-server and because I need both redundancy and flexibility, I thought in addition to raid1 (2x 160GB ata-disk) this time I would also use lvm2:
/dev/md0 /boot (~50MB) /dev/md1 / (2GB) /dev/md2 <swap> (2GB) /dev/md3 lvm2 (rest for /var /tmp /usr /opt /chroot /home) Is this generaly advisable solution (lvm2 over raid1), or is there some risk in using raid1 together with lvm2 ? One more question concerning partition type: If I want to use raid1, I have to set all those 2x4 (hda+hdc) primary partitions as type fd (raid autodetect). Is it not problem later for lvm2 when preparing and creating volume-group? Because lvm-guide says something about setting partition type to 8e (linux lvm), which I can not do, if I want to use raid1... Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
