Re: LVM on top of software RAID?

[james oden tekelec com]

Hi,

I was wondering why would one want to create meta-devices and then put
lvm's on top
of them?  Can't lvm do the same thing as meta-devices (i.e. the various
raid combinations)?
It could do this on HP/UX (which is where I have used lvm).

Thanks...james

Look at the logs in /tmp - how big are they (especially the LVM and RAID
logs)?
