That begs the question: why exactly do you want 2 drives, and why do you
want one of the two to
I think the main question you should ask yourself is: "Do I want redundancy?"
* Yes? Now you know the drives should have equal size, reflecting your
needs. It's also a good idea to get identical drives.
You'll then probably create a big volume group over the entire RAID.

I have a question about how best to divide things up in the new setup.
The current 250GB IDE HD has two partitions on it:

First, LVM isn't a "thing" you move. LVM is a tool to
I have a question about how best to divide things up in the new setup.
I'm thinking to replace this IDE drive with two SATA HDs. One as small
as I can get. Say 100GB or so and make that the boot drive. And a second
