I'd like my "important" stuff to be kinda backed up. Either with raid, or maybe just mirror'ed onto the myth video storage -- just to be safe. I think I should not worry about raid 5 here -- what do you think?<br>
The mythtv video store is not important to me -- I was planning on just buying a couple of 500Gb or so disks. No redundancy.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>What about disks? Can LVM do what I need? Multiple disks == more power, so I'd like a minimalistic solution that still has some redundancy for my "important" data.<br>
<br>If there are any LVM experts or linux disk experts here -- I'd like to know if I can have a 40-80Gb disk, mirror'ed onto a partition of a bigger video disk?<br><br>That way, I can buy one small disk for boot / os / important files, and one big disk for video + mirror of the important stuff.<br>
<br>But, every time I mess with LVM it seems really complex. Maybe a better solution is just one big disk, and a nightly rsync to a backup NAS or something?<br><br>-Dave<br></div></div>
