Yesss, Pascal has summarized it very well! LVM is not for home users with 1-2 disks. But it is for enterprise sites with big and growing databases. With LVM it is easy to add new physical volumes (hard disks) and increase size of a filesystem meanwhile it is in use. Mirroring hard disks behind logical volumes will produce more durable safety of datas. Combine it with a storage area system (ex. SSA, SHARK) and you will get an almost undestroyable system. (Of course it won't prevent human errors... ;-) ) It is possible to play around LVM at home to learn, to test, to examine. But storing my personals documents, emails, game saves, pictures, music or movies on LVM volumes at home ( on 2 or 3 hdds :-D LoL) not a good idea. Leave it to corporate users and IT system supervisors. Regards, Zolix 2005. augusztus 27. 11.02 dátummal Pascal Bleser ezt írta: ...
