You could also use iSCSI. On your client you'll get SCSI-device-nodes (/dev/sdx) which you can use as PVs. It's very fast and reliable.

In my experience, LVM is not > exactly graceful when one of it's PVs goes away My experience too :( After reconnecting to the iSCSI-target I have to # vgchange -a n vg-iscsi # vgchange -a y vg-iscsi to get my devices in /dev/vg-iscsi/* to work again (during disconnection they keep existing, but are not usable with misleading error messages). When using iSCSI-devices you should use /dev/disk/by-path/<taget-id> and not /dev/sdx, as these device names can change.
