<pre dir="auto" class="k9mail">Assuming the windows volume is a qcow2 file, yes. If it’s direct to the partition probably also yes.<br><br> Lvm on mdraid has the advantage of being able to create a single mdraid device then subdivide volumes on top, growing them as needed. With the 1TB you could allocate 100GB to a volume initially then add other volumes and grow them as needed. If you split the disks into partitions and put md on top of each of those and use directly you can’t easily change those sizes. <br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;">On 1 Dec 2021, at 20:49, bascule via Swlug <swlug@mailman.lug.org.uk> wrote:<br><br>thanks Matt and Ben, the usage would be to house an ntfs volume for my win10 <br>vm, i wouldn't want to use a whole drive, just two partitions each on a <br>separate drive, would this be ok using mdraid?<br><br>bascule<br><br><br><br><br><div class="k9mail-signature">-- <br>Swlug mailing list<br>Swlug@mailman.lug.org.uk<br><a href="https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/swlug">https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/swlug</a><br></div></blockquote><br><div class="k9mail-signature">-- <br>Swlug mailing list<br>Swlug@mailman.lug.org.uk<br><a href="https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/swlug">https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/swlug</a></div></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
