Is it first setting up the disk using raid tools and then configuring the lvm (lvm on top of raid) or first setting up the drives using lvm and then setting up the raid (raid on top of lvm) wich makes actually no sense to me because of confusing the layers and making managemnet quite difficult. Am I wrong ?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks, Peter</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"a nice little guy from italy"</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
