LVM or Bunch of DISKS

skc-jju256 · 09-25-2013, 08:56 PM

Good day sir!
I have a situation on my Rhel 6.4. I need to make my bunch of disks (bod) on the server appear as one disk. I am not sure how to do this but my boss wants me to create a logical disk in such a way that certain users will go to a particular volume just for their data or application. I have 7 * terabyte of disk space and will like to make them be seen as one volume. Do you have any idea of how to do this. I should be able to do all that and It will still have to be on RAID 5 ( hope so). Thanks.

If it has to be a RAID 5 you already get one single volume. Just create a partition on it, format it with the filesystem of your choice and mount it.
