Subject: [linux-lvm] Different PV on the same raid array
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 11:51:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D66382E.4090906@ixcore.com> (raw)
Hello,
To bypass the DOS MBR 2TB limits, i plan to use LVM to create on the
same raid array some "small" PV (< 2TB) that will be in the same big VG
(> 2TB).
First, am i planning ugly thing ? is the GPT alternative a better way ?
Secondly, I dont know how LVM use PVs within a VG, but for performances
issues, i would like that LVM use 1 PV first and then the second when
the first come full (not both at the same time).
Maybe LVM do that by default, or do i need some option ? (i saw
"--contiguous" in the lvcreate man pages, but dont know exactly what
this option does ... )
Thx
Cédric
