Question about LVM and RAID
Hi All,
I have an external drive cage which has been configured with two
separate RAID 5 arrays. I then used LVM to create two PVs, and then
added the volumes together under one VG. The whole shebang is mounted
on one file system (/srv).
What would happen if one of the RAID arrays failed (e.g. two drives die
in RAID 5 array 1)? Would the data be safe, would I lose all data, or
would I just lose the data that was on the failed array?
I believe I would only lose the data on the failed array, but a friend
believe I would lose the whole lot.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ranbir
