Yes, it is possible. I use LVM over RAID on my system because it offers more flexibility if I have to repartition. In fact, I have two separate RAID 1's -- one for partitions that are divided up the traditional way, and the other for partitions that are done with LVM. /boot is on the traditionally divided RAID. Back when I set it up, if /boot was on a RAID it had to be a RAID of the old format, not the new. I don't know if that still applies. And, LVM is the Logical Vomume Manager. LLVM is the Low Level Virtual Machine, used by some compilers (such as clang) in generating object code. -- hendrik > > TIA > _______________________________________________ > Dng mailing list > Dng@lists.dyne.org > https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
