Just note that the more drives you add to a logical volume the more
likely it is that that volume will have a failure.  If the data is
critical make sure you have backups or that you are using raid.

I currently have one file system that is 1TB is size running across four
drives.

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02        1018G  483G  536G  48% /video

I accept the fact that if one of the drives fail I will lose data.
