to lvm or not to lvm - why/when to use lvm
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi, I was wondering, why/when it is useful or when should I avoid to use LVM. I think the big advantage of LVMing is if you modify (rezising, ...) disk and filesystem layouts "a lot". Are there any real pros or cons for following situations regarding e.g. management and speed? e.g.: I do have a server system raid for which the disk layout will not change; e.g. /var /usr /home will not change much in size. OR I do have some file storage shares (iscsi raids) up to some TB each on one big … [View More]

Spin-stand microscopy is the first magnetic imaging technique where imaging is performed ex-situ on a rotating disk mounted on a spin-stand. This technique is one of the fastest scanning-based microscopy techniques. It is non-invasive and has nano-scale resolution. For these reasons, it provides unique capabilities for the visualization of magnetization patterns recorded on hard disks. /*etouq i do not have book, tho if i have $237.50 and nothing better to spend it on, i may purchase it. as can be seen by "results" of above links, there is a lot of information available related to "Subject:". something that, in my current and passed readings, many do not seem aware of is that even tho 'dban' can be use to remove data, it _does_not_ guarantee removing, beyond recovery, data on a hard disk. head gap wear and bearing wear factor in highly as to whether or not data can be readily recovered, and to a greater factor, if hdd is mounted vertical or horizontal. if one wishes, as mentioned in two of post, "sledge hammer" and "hydraulic wedge", are good ways. much better, and more assured is 'degaussing' disk platters, even which will leave a small bias. best way, of insuring data removal is to scrape disks clean of coating, or to burn off coating. i have used latter. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc.hago. g .
