+ 1 Use this configuration. You can break out swap if you want: md0: /boot (sda1 + sdb1) md1: swap (sda2 + sdb2) md2: LVM (sda3 + sdb3) VG/LV: / VG/LV: /home ...etc... Some people feel that avoiding LVM for swap gives a modicrum of performance improvement - but unless you are tearing up the I/O you won't notice. -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us> Adam Tauno Williams _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
