I have tree simple questions about LVM that just could not be answered
after 4 hours of search in LVM howto, Google, Linux questions and
linux-lvm Archives.
I have a small file server with 600Gbytes in one liner volume group
consisting of 3 200 Gbyte Hard disk. My questions are:
1. If one hard disk fails (hardware) do I loose all the data stored on
the VG?
2. Can I add a new hard disk in the VG without having to format it
before? (I mean if it is full of data can I just add it?)
3. In case of failure can I recover the data from a single disk on
another box?
Thanks in advance
