80GB drive, FC3, and LVM
I am starting to build a new firewall and need some advice on LVM. I have a mobo capable of RAID 0 or 1, but currently only have one drive. I really don't anticipate filling up this drive because we will probably remote log everything. However, I do want to be prepared just in case.
I guess RAID is kind of overkill and like I said, I only have one drive right now anyway. So LVM sound good right? What is the best way to go about setting up LVM though. At first I left FC3 do it automatically to see what it would do. It basically setup a 100MB ext3 parition and then the rest as one big ext3 partition and made both partitions separate logical volumes...I think. I would like to do the standard /boot, /, /var, /usr, /home, /tmp partitions. Should I make them all separate logical volumes so if I get a second drive, I can allocate space to any of the partitions or is there a better way to set this up? Thanks. Matt |

most setups ive seen just do /, /home, or at most /, /home, /usr, or /boot.... and 80GB seems like overkill for a router, but hey, its your router, not mine =D heres the lvm howto: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ |
