about RAID and LVM - and my ignorance

[yhotg]

err, hi again,
this probably would be in the stupid questions list, -sigh-
how i know if i have RAID or LVM active? i know that while booting the system load LVM and RAID suport, but how i actually know if i did configured raid or lvm while partitioning?
i mean, is not something that happens half alone, in the middle of partitioning rigth?
i know, this sound more and more dumb,
just don't laugh or shout, a simple answer would be much appreciated. (i did look on answers.com and google, i just have a slow week i think)
ty anyway.

Hi,

If you have lvm installed on your machine, you should see things like lv in the answer of mount command
For raid, if you didn't set it manually before to install, it shouldn't be used... Do you have at least 2 disks ?
If you don't find for lvm post the output of mount and I will tell you...

Cheers

2 discs,
the output of "mount":

/dev/hdb1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)

not really ugly
So you're not using lvm or raid, you have two disks, one is hda and the main for linux is hdb...
