[Nottingham] LVM + software RAID

[Martin]

Folks,

OK, so I was convinced to use LVM on top of software RAID.

Any gotchas for such a setup?


For performance, I'll be hoping for near x2 read speed for a simple RAID
mirror on SATA II HDDs.

But what happens for _write_ ?
How clever is the software RAID for performance and recovery?


And what does the motherboard RAID hardware offer?
Am I best staying with the Linux software RAID?

Cheers,
Martin
