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?  Thanks.
