Hi, I'm building a new RAID5 array (of 5 1.5 TB drives) with mdadm and would like to know theÂbenefits of creating an LVM on top of this are instead of just creating the filesystem on the md directly. I've never had a problem growing the array and then resizing the filesystem before and wondered if in this situation the only gain would be lvm snapshot stuff? I'm planning to use ext4 for this array, if that makes any difference.
