Re: [CentOS] RAID help

Hi,

If you dont know in advance how your storage is allocated the best way, use lvm. The space you dont need today is in the pool and be it /var/www/html or swap or whatever assign it as needed in the future.

Note that its maybe better to not put /boot into lvm.

I would suggest

/dev/md0 -> /boot /dev/md1 -> lvm with all other partitions including swap

OK, I have done this, I need to create mount points and I am not sure how to initially size.

How does everyone size /?

Since I know my /var/www/html will be large, say 300GB, I can create a mount point for at least that, but with LVM you are saying I can change the size later to increase it?

What other mount points should one have (besides swap)? No users will be storing sata on this box.
