What you are planning seems fine, but I think you may be confusing the various pieces of an LVM setup.
Galen, You're correct. It was only Sunday I started learning about LVM. Since then I've also read about it the 'UNIX and Linux System Administration Guide, 5th Ed.'
Typically each drive is treated as a physical volume. Physical volumes are placed into a volume group. Logical volumes are allocated out of the volume group. A filesystem (or swap) is created on a logical volume.
Yep. I'm still mis-using the terms. I have two physical volumes (pv), one volume group (vg), and three logical volumes (lv).
Note that only using LVM for the HDDs should be fine. I.e. keeping the SSD separate and not placing it in a volume group is okay.
That's what I think, too. Thanks for validating. Best regards, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
