What's the reason to break HDD to few partitions for MDADM+LVM2?
- by archer
I'm using 2 HDDs each 1TB in size. I'm going to create MDADM+LVM2 over them. Initially I though about this partition layout:
/dev/sda1 - 1Gb (boot)
/dev/sda2 - 500Gb (md0)
/dev/sda3 - 499Gb (md1)
/dev/sdb1 - 1Gb (boot)
/dev/sdb2 - 500Gb (md0)
/dev/sdb3 - 499Gb (md1)
md0 is going to be raid0 and md1 is going to be raid1
however, I found some info that this would be better to break each drive to more partitions (lets say 10 partitions 100Gb in size each). What's the reason of doing that?
