Damon, I use LVM on top of SW RAID all the time. It a very easy setup. Here are two "howto" docs I use all the time:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-tipsntricks.xml (the software RAID section) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm2.xml Gentoo configuration of RAID and LVM2 maps 1:1 with all other Linux distros. I'm currently running LVM2 on top of SW RAID 5 on 2 machines -- soon to be 4. Performance is excellent... for the cost. - Sebastian On Fri, 18 Nov 2005, Damon Jacobsen wrote: > Is there a way to combine LVM usage with software raid?
