LVM seems unnecessarily complicated unless mdraid is broken on large
devices. And I already have data on the md partition (moving stuff
from a pair of 1.5TB drives to 3TB). If md isn't going to work, can I
put LVM on a single drive, add the data, then add the mirror (reusing
the one that now has the md partition and currently holding the data)?
The old disks are still around but not in the machine now.
