If redundancy and integrity are already managed at another layer, then just use RAID0 for striping. I like to use RAID10 for mirror + striping, but I understand parity disks give redundancy without halving capacity. Parity means RMW cycles of largish blocks, whereas straight mirroring (RAID1, RAID10) can write single sectors without a RMW cycle. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list [email protected] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
