I have such a setup. It was fairly easy to do. For the LVM2 part, just follow this howto: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm2.xml For the raid part, the documentation you need is here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-tipsntricks.xml#software-raid The trick to getting it all to work

You can use it all or into chunks of 20GB each as the how-to suggests; I agree. I think the biggest reason to use the whole drive as one logical partition would be if you had dual SATA and you were striping. It's nice to have that extra space available as non-LVM2 just in case you need it.

Hi, My new A8N-E/AMD64 hardware came up the first time. SATA/DVD/CDRW all seen. LiveCD boots fine. memtest86 has been running for the last hour and looks good so far. All looks good so I'll start a Gentoo install pretty soon. I'm looking at LVN2 for this install. The main drive is 250GB.

/dev/hda3 is the backup/rescue. What I did last time I built a system, is used this to build a working system. Put it into service, adjust/configure until I am happy. Create the LVM in prep for the main install. Copy the rescue system to the LVM and setup grub. reboot into the main and go

Hey ho, all-- This is not a major problem (I have LVM2 partitions, but EVMS compiled fine, so I can manage them), but I don't like it, as it seems weird for the main tool for the fs not to compile. Nothing related seems to be on B.G.O (which is also weird), so I'm wondering if anyone might know
