[linux-lvm] lvm or lvm2?

[Matthew Daubenspeck <matt oddprocess org>]

I am in the process of planning out a medium sized server (500 users,
500GB) to host user accounts in our school district. I will be using
Samba...

Do you think using LVM is a reliable method of sharing home directories?
I have been reading the lists, and I notice that in a lot of cases, if
one drive dies, you usually lose a lot of information.

If so, should I be looking at LVM or LVM2? I haven't seen a comparison
sheet on what 2 offers over the standard...

Thanks for your help.
