I'm exactly as you are WRT to LVM but I admired Dale for giving it a |
22 |
shot and I'm sorta feeling like I gotta start learn it just to be part |
23 |
of the group... ;-) |

Seriously though, I've done enough RAID (0,1,5 & 6) recently to at |
26 |
least feel comfortable setting it up. I'm much more worried about |
27 |
whether I'll be able to handle it when it eventually breaks down. None |
28 |
the less, with LVM on top of RAID I think I'd get past a lot of |
29 |
limitations that I run into, and you may, when I picked a certain size |
30 |
and 1 year down the road it turns out my needs changed. |

Still, I glaze over every time... :-) |
