Hi all,

I'm planning on replacing our WinXP server (it's just a file server) with SuSE 9.1. I plan on putting 3, 40MB drives in it and using LVM to span the disks. Since I'm not too familar with LVM, I'm interested in others experiences.

Should I use LVM to span all three disks or should I put the OS on the first one and use LVM to span 2 and 3? Any tips or anything I should watch out for?

You can put the OS on LVM, too. Just be sure you have a /boot partition that is not. I've had good luck with all other partitions being Logical Volumes on our internal engineering lab server. Jim Cunning
