[clue-tech] RAID-0 & LVM

[David L. Anselmi]

You might get better responses if you didn't switch subjects in the 
middle of a thread.  And if you trimmed your posts.  That's just me and 
I apologize for being cranky (Collins would say curmudgeonly) enough to 
say anything.

No.  But I'd guess both is more overhead than either.  You should test 
it and see.

I've never seen haywire require rebuilding (where haywire != hareware 
failure).

It can.  Been there, done that, doing it now.  (Well, I don't ever make 
a /boot partition so it's really / that is on the LVM.  Same difference. 
  And / on LVM on RAID-1 works too.)
