Do you use software RAID along with LVM?  I've come to like the side
effects of raid mirrors (no slowdown on a failed drive and being able
to clone a machine or recover data with only one of a pair) and I'm
not sure I want to give that up for the option of resizing. Does it
work to start out with LVM on top of RAID1 devices so you only lose
the ability to recover data from a single drive if you later decide
to grow the volume across devices?
