[Gluster-users] GlusterFS over multiples HDD

[Alvin Starr]

LVM supports mirroring or raid1.
So to create a raid1 you would do something like "lvcreate -n raidvol  
-L 1T --mirrors 1  /dev/bigvg"
You can add a mirror to an existing logical volume using lvconvert with 
something like "lvconvert --mirrors +1 bigvg/unmirroredlv"

But other than simple mirroring you will need mdadm.
