Yes, that kind of thing was what I meant by spanning (not sure if it's meant to be the term, or just how it's been described in the past). I have wondered, that if you're already doing RAID, can it provide the same ability? I'm guessing that if you wanted to increase the size of a RAID, it probably entails adding more than one drive at a time. > LVM's provide a lot of added flexibility at the price of complexity.
