Subject: [linux-lvm] If one disk fails i loose everything?
Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2005 01:37:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <439620CE.1030902@ee.duth.gr> (raw)


  I have tree simple questions about LVM that just could not be answered
  after 4 hours of search in LVM howto, Google, Linux questions and
  linux-lvm Archives.


  I have a small file server with 600Gbytes in one liner volume group
  consisting of 3 200 Gbyte Hard disk. My questions are:


  1. If one hard disk fails (hardware) do I loose all the data stored on
  the VG?


  2. Can I add a new hard disk in the VG without having to format it
  before? (I mean if it is full of data can I just add it?)


  3. In case of failure can I recover the data from a single disk on
  another box?


  Thanks in advance
