i'd like to commute my laptop system to lvm2, but before doing that i'd like |
2 |
some hints. |
3 |
first, i'd like to know if there's a way of passing an existing gentoo |
4 |
installation on a hda disk going through the sda stack (i needed to do that |
5 |
cause it was the only thing that fixed a problem with my ata disk going only |
6 |
on udma-33 after kernel 2.20) with sata-pata piix controller which is still |
7 |
experimental. i've taken a look around but haven't actually seen a document |
8 |
explaining if it is possible to do that and how to do that. |
9 |
second, i'd like to know if there's a need for a raid enabled motherboard |
10 |
and more than one disk to go on lvm. i only have a 100gb disk that i'd like |
11 |
to convert to lvm with no raid. |
12 |
and last, does it make sense doing a passage to lvm? i currently run into |
13 |
some problems with my root partition that gets filled and that i always have |
14 |
to watch the free space on it, so if i don't pass to raid i'll try to |
15 |
duplicate the partition on a greater one. |
16 |
i was forgetting: i'd like to use it on amd64. is there any problem? i have |
17 |
seen around some problems with lvm and amd64 some of them marked as solved, |
18 |
so i'd like to know if there could be problems with this arch. |
19 |
thanks for your help. |
