Hello, I am so sorry to pester you all!
First off, I would just like to say that I haven't had much luck with getting this system integrated.
My problem:
I would like to know how to work with LVM, especially so that I can mirror the files on the file server straight onto the external backup (which contains identical drives of the same size). I don't think I will need to worry about RAID, so long as I can find a way to work with the space from the seperate drives as one whole larger space.
The current structure of the system:
1. primary 100mb B ext3 (Boot/Installation)
2. logical 15gb ext3 ('/')
3. logical 4gb ext3 ('/var')
4. logical 10gb ext3 ('/tmp')
5. logical 306.2gb ext3 ('/opt'? - for image files of the OSs of computers connecting to the file server and the OS of the file server itself)
6. logical 2gb F swap
7. space from 3x1TB HDDs as '/home'.
Please feel free to debate any part of the current set-up or make suggestions.
