Dear List, I'm setting up a new Server with 5 hard drives each 20GB. My question is which is better between Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and Raid5? Does LVM offer any fault tolerance? Say if one hard drive crashes in the LVM, does the Os continue working or I lose all data just like Raid 0. What are the advantages of LVM? Could somebody point me to site on the Internet that I can read about the difference between the two TIA Regards > > --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
