with LVM, you could join several smaller logical drives, maybe 1TB each,

That looks like it may be the result. The main reason was to keep the amount of overhead and 'stuff' required to revive it in the event of a server issue to a minimum. That was one of the reasons for going with an enclosure that handles all the RAID internally and just presents to the server as a single drive. We had been trying to avoid LVM as we had run into problems using knoppix recovering it in the past.
It looks like we will probably just end up breaking it up into smaller chunks unless I can find a way for the enclosure to use 512 sectors and still have greater than 2 tb volumes.
