I do not pretend to have the TRUTH .... Said you've 2 identical drives for the system. Set up 2 partitions onto them exactly the same. The fisrt one, small will be used for /boot The second one for everything else using LVM. Set up software raid to make a first mirror of the two /boot and another one for the LVM. This way, you can boot and run your machine from any disk and you can even do a backup by splitting the raid.... IT has always worked except on my home machine where I was unable to insatall a Fedora system using software mirror AND lvm ..; Go figure ;-) -- Ce message est constitu� d'au moins 50 % d'�lectrons recycl�s.
