But these days. Having fast reliable performance locally is better. With a

I think the idea is that with the LVM partition type, the tools can auto detect.
The reality is, the tools scan all the block devices.
It is possible to change the partition type from Linux to LVM without a
reinstall. I would just reboot afterwards to be safe.

The problem I am now facing is that none of the patches listed on that link

Take a look at the following sites:

I think you are talking about a script that handles a more "dynamic" database
to force renames/softlinks for devices keeping names identical?
I haven't played with mdev yet, but isn't that already in mdev?
Or does mdev require it to be set manually?
Btw, the "keep same devicename" is rather annoying when having to replace the
network card and the network then doesn't come back up...

I myself use KDE and there I can specify if I want a USB-drive mounted or not.
I believe I can also specify some USB-drives to auto-mount when I plug them

my phone or camera to charge it. (My phone also acts like a usb-drive when so

Not sure if it's the "recommended" way, but how about using "nohup"?
Eg:

/var/run/minecraft-server.pid \

Also, when just wanting to "empty" one physical volume, it is not necessary to

It's a good idea to mark the PVs on the existing drive "non-allocatable". Then
LVM won't try to move anything to that PV:

Try recompiling php.
You may have accidentally removed the php-library as that is located under:
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/...

These limit the load-average to 5. As long as the load is below this number,
additional make/compile/emerge processes can be spawned.

rashing
because half the swap dissappears suddenly because of a drive failure?
There actually is only 1 system that I use regularly with a RAID-0 partition.
And that machine is only used for virtual machines I use for testing. If that
one dies, worst that happens is I need to recreate the images. Not a big loss
for me.

filesystems then.
Please note, I have not lost data related to issues with LVM. I have, in the
distant past, lost data related to issues with filesystems.
Because of the latter, I rely on a combination of RAID-subsystems with LVM on
top and reliable backups :)

m where you looked
to that page might be of use to make the documentation better?
Also, the problem with most documented features is, if someone isn't aware of
a certain feature, that person might not even look for it and will continue
doing things in a sub-optimal method.

ndle the loss of a disk.
For that, RAID (with the exception of striping, eg. RAID-0) provides that.
Just out of curiousity, as I never had the need to look into this, I think
that, in theory, it should be possible to recover data from LVs that were not
using the failed drive. Is this assumption correct or wrong?

Glad to hear that.

hers, like "revdep-rebuild", there is also "python-updater" and
"etc-update".
The last "etc-update" is only really needed when doing upgrades. I would like
to recommend you try these commands before you are too dependent on the
installation.
Making mistakes while learning is a good method, but can also be extremely
frustrating when these same mistakes keep you from enjoying the use of the
computer. (Yes, I am speaking from personal experience ;) )
