Hi,
Is it possible to arrange multiple SCSI disks into a single logical volume
like that is commonly done with RAID?
I need >30GB of total disk space and for that I'll probably get a few
smaller (9/18 GB) disks, but I'd like to avoid the expense of a RAID
controller/enclosure/etc. and am wondering if I can make multiple SCSI disks
appear as one disk to the OS or if my only choice is RAID.
Will LVM (http://linux.msede.com/lvm/) do the job with just plain (Fast)
SCSI or is LVM for RAID only?
Thank you,
Otis
