Hi,

Quick question about LVM.  I have a 750Gb drive that has miscellaneous 
stuff on it.  Stuff likes videos, music, pictures, ISO files and a few 
other things.  It's not full yet but it is working on it.  I have my OS 
on sda.  The large drive is on sdc.  If I buy another drive it should be 
sdd.  I think this is possible from what I have read but want to make 
sure.  Could I put sdc and sdd on LVM but the OS remain as it is with 
LVM not involved at all?  Basically, my OS stays just like it is and is 
not touched my LVM at all but the two larger drives are managed by LVM.

I want to do it this way because I don't trust LVM enough to put my OS 
on.  Just my personal opinion on LVM.

If there is a better solution to link two large drives, I'm open to 
those ideas as well.  LVM is all I can think of is why I mention it.

Thanks.

Dale
