Hi I'm wondering if Logical Volume Manager can handle a setup I am considering. I have a system with two 40 GB IDE drives. hda / /boot <swap> /tmp /data (includes home) /usr
The second disk (hdb) should contain the same partitions, but mirrored. The ultimate goal would be that if either hda or hdb failed, the system would keep running until I could replace a disk. Is any of this possible with LVM? Is it stable? Could the system still boot if one disk failed (e.g. hdb)? Can I disable the mirrors temporary when performing an upgrade? (to get the chance to turn it back). I've seen this stuff done with Veritas, and I'd be cool to have it on a Free Linux box.
