Hey all, Ok, so I've been having some trouble for a while with an EC2 instance running CentOS 5.11 with a disk volume reporting 100% usage. Root is on an EBS volume. So I've tried the whole 'du -sk | sort -nr | head -10' routine all around this volume getting rid of files. At first I was getting rid of about 50MB of files. Yet the volume remains at 100% capacity.

...; LVM volumes. That is, you can't create LVs that are mirrored across multiple PVs. You can create md RAID1 volumes and make a PV of the resulting RAID volume, though. So I think what you're probably doing is creating 100MB /boot partition, and then two md RAID component partitions of 9900MB.

Might that be because I didn't put swap on both drives (and I think I set up swap as a gig)...
