In my experience, on the linux platform it's easier to avoid LVM's raid-like features and let software raid, specifically md, handle the raid for you. It's another layer to manage but not much more complexity. Not to knock on the LVM folks, they do awesome work, but imho the code for the software raid is better tested if only by virtue of how often it's used/tested/broken. LVM, as I see it, is designed to take physical disks/arrays and hide the underlying structure into one giant pool for the admin to manage. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
