Actually, what I'm running is RAID-1 with 2 75GB SATA drives, no LVM.
It was easy to set up but I bet LVM is another story. While my server
isn't hardcore production, I host a few personal sites no problem at all
and I think it'd suffice NYLXS' needs.
That said, I am preparing to go full production (i.e- drive traffic to
content/commerce sites on it) so if I have erred in my setup I'm more
than happy to know now rather than later.
Guess I'm not sure why LVM is a good idea, not because I don't like it
but because of I don't really know about it.
