Evening...
Can you set up NTFS partitions in an LVM?
I currently have 2x3TB blank hard disks that I want to set up in ubuntu. It's going to be for a HTPC so i want them to be seen as one drive. I originally thought of setting them up in a RAID, but i want to be able to add to them as i go, so as i gather it, RAID won't be suitable.
Then I stumbled across LVM. Am i understanding correctly that LVM essentially allows you to group together previously formatted partitions in such a way that the OS sees it as just one large partition? And that you can add extra partitions, no matter what size they are, as you want, without any affect on the current data?
At least, that's how i understand it.
Anyway, i have formatted the HDDs as NTFS but in Logical Volume Management i can only see the system SSD and an external FAT32 drive. Are NTFS not supported in lvm??
thanks guys
