Create a partition for software RAID on both disks, leave approx 100MB at end of disk: gdisk /dev/sda n #add new partition. 2 #partition number 2. 4096 #default next sector. +59GB #Partition size. fd00 #partition type. w #write changes and exit. Create RAID1 array. Build two device array:

Raid Levels

Obtain the latest installation media and boot the Arch Linux installer as outlined in Getting and installing Arch . Load kernel modules Load the appropriate RAID (e.g. raid0, raid1, raid5, raid6, raid10) and LVM (i.e. dm-mod) modules. The following example makes use of RAID1 and RAID5. # modprobe raid1 # modprobe raid5 # modprobe dm-mod

LVM RAID uses both Device Mapper (DM) and Multiple Device (MD) drivers from the Linux kernel. DM is used to create and manage visible LVM devices, and MD is used to place data on physical devices. LVM creates hidden LVs (dm devices) layered between the visible LV and physical devices. LVs in the middle layers are called sub LVs.

The wording of the article - ie. "Make the RAIDs accessible to LVM by converting them into physical volumes " and "Next step is to create a volume group (VG) on the PVs " - suggests both RAIDs are to be 'made into' PVs, and both PVs are to be 'put into' the VG. Sure, the commands don't reflect this, but they don't exclude it either.

NAME. lvmraid — LVM RAID. DESCRIPTION. lvm(8) RAID is a way to create a Logical Volume (LV) that uses multiple physical devices to improve performance or tolerate device failures. In LVM, the physical devices are Physical Volumes (PVs) in a single Volume Group (VG). How LV data blocks are placed onto PVs is determined by the RAID level.

For Linux 2.6 the device-mapper framework can, among other nice things like LVM and EVMS, do the same kind of work as ATARAID in 2.4.

Install Arch Linux on LVM You should create your LVM Volumes between the partitioning and formatting steps of the installation procedure. Instead of directly formatting a partition to be your root file system, the file system will be created inside a logical volume (LV). Quick overview: Install the required packages.
