*cough* yeah i meant to keep typing! |

the extra thoughts are that the better way of doing this would be to |
| 6 |
create up |
| 7 |
RAID1 physicaldisks1+2 |
| 8 |
RAID6 physicaldisks3,4,5,6 |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
then put lvm on there as vg01 with two PVs, one on the raid1 virtualdisk |
| 11 |
and one on the raid6 virtualdisk |
| 12 |
you can then create new LVs and choose to put them on fast or slow |
| 13 |
(raid1 or raid6) |
| 14 |
you can then have system and archive data on raid6 and VM's on fast. |
| 15 |
of course you could always have all 6 disks setup for raid0+1 and then |
| 16 |
it woudl all be very fast |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
the general gist of what i'm trying to say is have the hardware raid |
| 19 |
card do the hardware raid across the disks as required, then have LVM do |
| 20 |
the partitioning of the storage. at the moment you have the hardware |
| 21 |
raid doing the partitioning. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
also i'd always recommend you have _inside the case_ a hotspare |
| 24 |
configured to be global spare |
