i'm fascinated that you use mirroring RAID as a matter of course,
but consider LVM to be an advanced topic. in any event, part of the
reason i would consider LVM standard these days is that if you take
the default install configuration with SL6, you get LVM automatically.
that's just part of my thinking.
