Hello all,
LOL ... i bite my tongue to not point out the obvious LVM problem
:)
Nevertheless, forewarned is forarmed, so I would like to hear more
of the problems you have encountered with LVM. All that I have
read over the years of LVM data loss has been mostly theoretical.
Please note, that I didn't dive deep into the problem, or something
like, basically I was mere user.
I had two disks, for which I applied LVM. After disk crash I ended up
with data corrupted not only from the disk which was crashed, but
also at surving disk as well (I knew this by size of the intact
files, and the size of the files I lost due to corruption).
Maybe it was me who misconfigured something, but maybe LVM (at the
time) spanned files across partitions (in theory it should not do
this). I didn't investigate it futher, after that I stopped using LVM
and in time the need for it decreased (because HDD were getting
bigger).
Kind regards,

:-) After a disk crash involving LVM, I am now in camp no-LVM
