Wow... this is stressing me out. So basically by adding another drive to my LVM group (which I assume means I am not "striping" I increased the size of my drive at the cost of now giving 2 harddrives a chance to fail instead of one. (shooot.... especially considering my luck with hard drives.)
I wonder what I should do? If I buy 2 400's or 500's and run them in RAID, maybe that would make me feel better. How hard is it to copy the data off the LVM to a new hard drive? Coming from a Windows world I am always worried about missing hidden or system files. Is there a way to copy everything off the video drive onto a new drive and not miss out on anything? (And on another note, is a 2 disk raid even worth it? If one of the hard drives develops an error, will that not corrupt its partner?) What does everyone think? Help me develop the poor mans backup... (not only do I keep my Video files on the LVM (which I can afford to lose), but I also keep my main cpu backup there. That would be upsetting...) dave _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
