Hi Neil, |
39 |
|

Thank you for your help! :) |
41 |
|
42 |
A question to LVM: As much as I know, LVM combines several partition |
43 |
to one big partition, and if one partition fails, at least other |
44 |
others of that volume are damaged, too. |
45 |
What is the advantage of using LVM and several small partitions |
46 |
instead of one in the size of the sum of the others and not using |
47 |
LVM? |
48 |
|

Best regards, |
