Hmm, I'll look into using LVM first. It seems logical that someone would
want to do this, right? I mean I'm just planning for the future in disk
space, but there's no reason to have the space at this point and I'm
trying to avoid having to wipe things out and restore in the future, so
starting it with raid in mind from the get go seems like the way to go.
Heh, I didn't see any replies to this before today which usually says to
me that I suggested something totally stupid. I hope not.
