well.. my first principle in doing something is keeping everything as
simple it can .. so the question is : why should i use lvm? i read so
much about it and so far (many years passed) i didn't found a reason to
use it...
so back to may subject : i found that is simpler to just make a raid1
over all the device than use the lvm configuration.
which brings out the my question again : what is the status in mkinitrd
of TUV OS 6?
