As an example of the cons: I've just set up lvm2 over my raid5 and whilst
testing snapshots, the first thing that happened was a kernel BUG and an
oops...
I've been backing up using writable snapshots on LVM2 over RAID-5 for
some time. No BUGs.
I seem to recall patches to md floating around a couple
years back for partitioning of md devices. Are those still
available somewhere?
I believe the patches that you are referring to are now included into
the standard 2.6+ kernel.

Yes.

Hello all,
I'm building a new server which will use a number of disks

There will be 4 320gb SATA drives installed at first. I'm
just wondering how to set the system up for upgradability.
I'll be using raid5 but not sure

Well, the reason I was looking at LVM is because since this
is a fairly big array, I didn't want to lose a bunch of
space with ext3 inodes. For example, the PostGreSQL
Then forget about ext{2|3} and use xfs or reiserfs. ext3 is limited to
4TB anyway.
