LVM and RAID are completely different animals. No one suggested using it |
| 12 |
for any reasons of data security, running LVM on a RAID array gives both |
| 13 |
security and flexibility. As for being able to add space to RAID, you |
| 14 |
can't temporarily add a new volume whenever you want, you have to go out |
| 15 |
and buy another drive, then power down the computer to fit it, assuming |
| 16 |
there is room in the case for an extra drive. |
