It saw me through high school, 8 years of post-secondary nerding and then some years after. The drives involved came and went, as I perpetually upgraded it. I loved it dearly. At its peak, it was comprised of 7 drives. Inevitably, the Seagate-reaper came to visit and the LVM was no more. It might have persisted, but I was younger and crazier and I took the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_0">striped</a> path to ruin.</p>
