Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm going to re-install gentoo on a small hobby-server and because |
| 4 |
I need both redundancy and flexibility, I thought in addition to |
| 5 |
raid1 (2x 160GB ata-disk) this time I would also use lvm2: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
/dev/md0 /boot (~50MB) |
| 8 |
/dev/md1 / (2GB) |
| 9 |
/dev/md2 <swap> (2GB) |
| 10 |
/dev/md3 lvm2 (rest for /var /tmp /usr /opt /chroot /home) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Is this generaly advisable solution (lvm2 over raid1), or is there |
| 13 |
some risk in using raid1 together with lvm2 ? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
One more question concerning partition type: |
| 16 |
If I want to use raid1, I have to set all those 2x4 (hda+hdc) primary |
| 17 |
partitions as type fd (raid autodetect). Is it not problem later for |
| 18 |
lvm2 when preparing and creating volume-group? Because lvm-guide says |
| 19 |
something about setting partition type to 8e (linux lvm), which I can |
| 20 |
not do, if I want to use raid1... |
