[TriLUG] LVS and RAID

[Sinner from the Prairy]

Hi,

I was reading an article on SysAdmin Magazine "Review of Current File Systems 
and Volume Managers" http://www.samag.com/documents/s=7789/sam0302h/0302h.htm 
.

I'm about to implement some Linux systems with RAID 1 (0+1 maybe?). The 
article got me into thinking:

What about using LVM?

I used LVM on AIX, back on the IBM days, and it was a nifty thing... when you 
learnt how to use it. LVM let me add more partitions to a live filesystem 
with just a few keystrokes. I liked it a lot.

And I wondered, how LVM works on Linux today? Is it up for production status? 
Has anyone combined it with RAID?

Thank you in advance for your comments, insights, experiences and pointers to 
fine manuals.



Salut,
Sinner
