Management| Create New Striped Logical Volume Striped logical
volumes will lay down data on a number of drives, speeding up
the I/O process. When laying down each stripe the size of the
stripe cannot exceed the size of the extent. The striping will
start with the first physical volume and each stripe or extent
is then placed on the next physical volume. The size of the
stripe is limited to the size of the extent. The LVM cannot
determine if there are multiple physical volumes on the drive,
so if you use striping on one disk with several physical volumes
it will actually slow down performance instead of enhancing
performance. This example will show you how to stripe with two
drive partitions as a learning tool. Here is the example of
creating a striped volume for the logical volume named db. Note
that 2 stripes are used with 4 Kilobytes granularity. Again, you
may choose the size of the v
