James, |
24 |
Depending on what you are putting onto your RAID watch carefully |
25 |
what choices you make for SuperBlock type as well as being aware of |
26 |
possible md name changes between the install environment and your |
27 |
first real boot. |
28 |
|
29 |
I cannot comment on BTRFS and whether it's a good thing to use with |
30 |
LVS. I've seen varying reports so if this is a learning install then |
31 |
do what you want and have fun. If it's intended to be an in-service |
32 |
machine ASAP then possibly look around for more info on that before |
33 |
starting. |
34 |
|
35 |
Good luck, |
