Quick LVM Question. I'm going to set up a system with a SATA II drive. I anticipate that somewhere in the future I may need to add an additional drive. Should I set up the initial drive using LVM or just wait until another drive is needed...?

If you plan on using LVM later, then yes.

On the other hand, there's no requirement that you use LVM just because you have a second drive. My current desktop machine has 6 disk drives in it, and I'm NOT using LVM.

LVM is just one more thing to go wrong, and should not be used unless you need it -- because if your system gets hosed, and your LVM table is one of the things that got hosed, if for some reason you can't fix that,...your data is hosed, too.

Good Point, been there....

So far, I've been lucky where i've had systems using any sort of LVM. And I want to put off for as long as possible the day when I do get there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
