Hi, I'm in the process of setting up a new private computer. I've bought one with two drives b/c I wanted to setup a RAID system - RAID1 for important partitions, RAID0 for scratch files maybe. Additionally I would like to use LVM2 --- on my work PC I've grown to like the flexibility of that. The Intel DQ35JO motherboard now supports some kind of mobo based RAID. Is it better to use this HW raid, or to ignore that and use only the linux kernel's software RAID. Additionally the LVM2 utilities seem to have limited mirroring/striping capabilities of their own - I only want to use RAID levels 0 and 1 anyways -- would LVM's methods be better here?
