about '[gentoo-user] evms':
Trying to set up a new server using evms, but the howto on the gentoo
site seems very old and incomplete.
basically, i've got 3 hot-swappable scsi drives, but no raid
controller.. I want to end up with lvm logical volumes on top of a
software raid-5. but getting there with evms is presenting me some
issues. FYI, i've been an aix system adminstrator for over 10 years,
so i'm very familiar with lvm concepts and applications..just trying
to translate that process into evms terms.
In your situation, I'd get rid of evms, it's not needed. Use mdadm to
create a raid5 volume from your 3 drives, then use the command-line
lvm
tools to create a pv, vg, and all the lvs you want.
well, that's what i've done in the past. seemed to me that evms was
the direction things were going, and thought i'd give it a test
drive. is it your opinion that evms does not add any value in terms
of resizing logical volumes and volume groups, etc?
