What would happen with a disk failure? How does one know what data
he's lost. Just occured to me lvm is logical and I would not know e.g.
/home is on /hdb2....or would I?

If you had a logical that spread across 2 physical drives, it would be
trashed, just as any logicals on the physical drive that died.<br>
But with some work you "might" be able to recover the part of the
logical that was on the remaining good drive(s).<br>
That would depend on if you made the logicals use "contiguous
allocation". I think LVM2 is somewhat better at this, but I haven't
used it yet. <br>

<pre wrap="">Or is there a method to how lvm spreads data / directories / trees? or
may be can be configured so!?
Well, just means, more frequent automated backups....long live rsync ;-))
Meanwhile, thanks again for the links...will get cracking.
With best regards.
Sanjay.
