5 | Ok, googling reveals lots of conflicting opinions about using LVM in a |
6 | VM environment. |
7 | |
8 | I was wanting to use it mainly for its snapshot ability (to get |
9 | consistent backups of my mailstore and mysql DBs). |
10 | |
11 | Also it would be very nice to be able to resize things if needed (I have |
12 | adequate storage available). |
13 | |
14 | But I've found lots of opinions that using LVM in a virtualized |
15 | environment can lead to data corruption, and if this is true, I'd rather |
16 | not risk it... |
17 | |
18 | So, LVM or not? |
