I know I'm late to the game with a reply, but a couple of months ago, I |
| 28 |
setup a data box running Gentoo in the following configuration: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
OS drive: 250 GB PATA LVM2 |
| 31 |
data drives: 2 x WD Caviar Black 3 TB, raid1, LVM2 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Had to partition those drives using parted, though. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If that setup works fine -- and it does -- you'll have no issues. |
