Hey all -
I'm just about to get a new AFS server - an RS/6000 32H with
1.6Gb of disk (among 3 drives). I've been looking more seriously
into the AIX 3.1 logical/physical volume stuff (all my 32H
clients have only a single disk), and am wondering whether it's
worth it to muck about having logical vols spanning physical ones,
etc.
So - do you (who are running RS/6000 AFS file servers) do
anything funky with pv's, lv's, and partitions, or do you just
play it "straight" and have one (or more) partitions/disk?
Curiously,
Pat
We do it straight here. One volume-group per disk/one disk per volume-group. THis
isolates the problems when a disk goes bad. We have only one lv per disk as well,
although this is not as crucial. - Woody
