mv hard drives with lvm/selinux ?

[Justin Conover]

This kind of brings up another question, if I create a raid 5 with 3
or 4 disk and have my system only one 1 disk, and that one disk blows
up.  Will it be easy to replace that disk and see the
raid5/lvm/selinux files?  Or should I take the caution and put my
system in a raid 1 too.

thx
