I've been running LVM on RAID (spanning two RAID-5 arrays) for some time now and have had no trouble (that I know of: a check just completed OK, so the RAID layer at least is consistent).

Of course this is a subtle and intermittent problem so this is hardly a green light :/ -- `Voting for any American political party is fundamentally incomprehensible.' --- Vadik - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
