I am setting up a new system using ubunto server 10.10. I have 1 4TB level 1+0
raid array consisting of 4 2TB drives which will be the main os drive and 1 2TB
level 0 raid array which will be the holding disk. Should I set this server
up using lvm and create 1 6TB volume or should I create two (1 4TB and 1 2TB)
lvm
volumes?
If I were you, I would definitely create two separate volumes. The intended
workloads, as well as underlying RAID setup,
are rather different. With two volumes, if one disk in your RAID0 dies, you
lose only the holdingdisk, which is probably
survivable. With one volume, you stand a good chance of losing the entire
server which is not so good.
Thank you... I created two volumes.
