Thanks for all the input. I wanted to use software RAID on top of LVM because I like the flexibility of giving each logical volume their own unique mirror. This is one feature in Veritas VxVM that I really like. I know you have to break the mirrors everytime you change the underlying LVs. Not considering management issues, I wanted to know if it is safe and supposed to work. Thanks.
