I'm not the OP, but one possible reason is to preserve the ability to add additional drives later. My music collection originally lived on a set of RAID-1 devices on two drives, then RAID-5 on three drives, and now RAID-5 on four drives. Only enough free space to copy *one* of the md devices is required. Using LVM to create a single virtual device out of the md devices may make sense, *if* you trust pvmove, which the LVM HOWTO claims doesn't work. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher i.pilcher@xxxxxxxxxxx ========================================================================
