What advantages, if any, would lvm have over this set up?

How about flexible filesystem resizing? If you did it the way I suggested: 512MB /boot, 512MB /tmp, you have like 960GB of space to carve anyway you like. You also get lvm snapshots which you won't get with raid seeing that this is supposed to be a backup server too.

Yea, I think for these reasons I will use lvm. I have set up a system as follows:

/boot raid 1 200mb 4 drives no spares (I guess this makes 4 copies of the data?)

You have four disks which will be paired into two pairs. If one pair goes, everything goes. Might as well use one pair for /boot and the other for /tmp.

I'm not quite sure I understand? This is raid1, not raid10. While I'm not sure exactly how raid1 works with 4 drives, I'm assuming everything is a copy of a copy of a copy... So how would 2 drives going out kill the whole raid1 device?
