--- Comment #27 from Alasdair Kergon <agk(a)redhat.com> 2010-04-27 09:49:30 EDT ---
So this splits into two.
(1) Add an option to lvm.conf that allows for striping by default instead of
always having to specify it on the command line.
(2) Add a configuration option to anaconda that allows people to opt into this
new policy and which would use it during installation and set it in lvm.conf as
the default. I agree with Bryn that it would not be sensible to make it
default behaviour.
But for (1): How many stripes? A fixed number? Maximum possible? If you've
1000 disks would you really benefit from 1000 stripes? What about lvextend?
Would it use its current default or would it take account of the new policy or
would it need to remember what policy was used last time space was added to the
LV? Do these problems negate any benefit from having a default?
