Off topic, as I seldom partition anything (unpartitioned drives perform best), but, you're setting yourself up for disaster using LVM (any corruption to the LVM layer is not recoverable... you'll loose everything... been there done that), and the performance is poor, and MD RAID5/6 devices can be grown (add more disks).

Fair enough. I appreciate the input because I haven't run across any real-world stories about LVM corruption. I have personally encountered corruption problems with RAID5/6 as well as problems with decreased performance as a RAID5 structure gets more members added to it. Could you please provide me additional information about the circumstances under which you had the LVM layer corrupt?
