Is the multipartition VolumeGroup in any way less stable/ideal/etc?
Not really. If you run an LVM using multiple disks if one disk goes bad you loose the data but of course is unlikely but I always have backups. We are talking of probabilities if you use physical partition and the disk goes bad you will loose the data if you do not have a backup. For cases where you can not afford any downtime you can have a raid and an lvm on the top. I do not have personal experience with this setup. I have been using LVM for many years, it was the way OS/2 handle storage, when I migrated to linux (suse 9.0 64) it was hard to understand that I had to go back to the "old" way or physical partitions. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
