When I use fdisk to create partitions, I turn off DOS compatibility (c
command) and uses sectors(u command) and start my partitions at the default

For Squeeze, not partitioned raid.
And a partitioned RAID is
(a) a RAID drive that has partitions on it? or
(b) a RAID that combines paririnos instead of complete disk drives as its

Context: I have to remove the hard drive my / is on. The available
space to move it to is on a RAID drive.
The disks carrying the RAID also have small nonRAID nonLVM partitions
that would be big enough for /boot, but not all of
an LVM over
RAID?

Hello to all,
I'm going to do some playing (and heavy testing) with LVM over MD raid.
I want to try abusing several types of arrays with several types of file

I want to see which types of FS's are likely to fail in this setting

The Fileserver has 3 hardware RAID cards with onboard cache.

Hi gurus...
I have a question regarding LVM and RAID.
I have a 324gb and 350gb RAID enclosure, the 324gb consists of 9 x 36gb
discs, and the other is 7 x 50gb discs.
This space is destined for a file server, and usually I would just use
appropriate RAID level to define the volumes etc.
However, a
