Doesn't striping come with another got-ya? I seem to recall that a striped LVM can't be expanded (i.e., additional volumes added). Is that right, or old, or?? Thanks, Lee

I'm setting up an LVM disk with 50 CKD disks. On developerWorks I found the following about striping. Use LVM and EVMS with *striping*. The scaling capacities with Volume Management depend on the connection type: - ESCON: the number of stripes should be at least equal to the number of available ESCON channels - FICON and FCP: the number of stripes should be equal to the number of disks - Good stripe sizes are 32KB and 64KB I have a DS8100 with 4 FICON connections, can that recommendation about using 50 stripes, in my case, be correct? Anyone using this approach, or using the same number of stripes as you have FICON connections?
