My policy when configuring my alpha is that it is difficult enough as it is, |
10 |
without adding extra complexities. I would therefore recommend that you |
11 |
start by getting Gentoo installed on a separate small hard disc. Only once |
12 |
you have the basic OS together with the RAID and LVM tools installed on that |
13 |
should you try to configure RAID and LVM. Then you can move your partitions |
14 |
over to logical volumes. |

I use LVM2 (but not yet RAID) and that is how I did it. |
