Re: Amanda vs lvm with 2, 1T SSD's

Hi,

Albeit in a broader context: LVM works very well.

Although in your case there is a significant drawback: if one SSD were 
to fail, the volume group would break.

Maybe it's safer to spread the virtual tapes across both SSDs (having 
individual file systems), for example using symbolic links.

Cheers,
Kees
