I have another pair of partitions combined as RAID-0 on which I have another LVM group containing less important partitions, where speed and space matter more than security. Is there any advantage to using RAID-0 with these partitions? It seemed a good idea when I set it up, because I was using LVM on RAID for the rest, but as LVM stripes data across the drives anyway, am I gaining anything from the RAID-0? Would I be just as well off by adding the two partitions directly to the LVM group? --=20 Neil Bothwick "I laugh in the face of danger, then I hide until it goes away" --Sig_unxiPOqXB.oBiPrWjSWz6Va Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGEBOWum4al0N1GQMRAseVAJ9lglt45utoIYXFenzZDtEGxT6KtQCfd1I/ +hf6ijacQc5MQURiAx9DQqU= =w9nU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_unxiPOqXB.oBiPrWjSWz6Va-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
