200Gb just isn't enough. I just put in 300 gb and going to add teh

I was unsure about LVG as I could just mount drives in subdirectories.
It was the fact that LVG would allow this to be done transparently
is the selling point to me.
I have calculated that I would need about 1TB to do what I want. I am
looking at RAID arrays.
Just note that the more drives you add to a logical volume the more
likely it is that that volume will have a failure. If the data is
critical make sure you have backups or that you are using raid.
I currently have one file system that is 1TB is size running across four
drives.
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02 1018G 483G 536G 48% /video
I accept the fact that if one of the drives fail I will lose data.
This makes an interesting point.
I am using mirrored drives now as volumes. md0 and md1. If one drive
fails, I wonder how this will be handled.
This is so much fun.
