i'm fascinated that you use mirroring RAID as a matter of course,
but consider LVM to be an advanced topic.
I too find this interesting. One of the things I love about SA is if you
ask one question of three SAs you'll get nine answers no two of which
are alike. :)
I view LVM on the same level as basic system security. If you grok the
core workings of security, then LVM's not too difficult for you.
Let me say up front, I don't question Mr Serkez business choices, he
knows better than I in that regard.
Regarding LVM in general, in *my* opinion, if the system's running
hardware RAID controllers, LVM is a good thing to use to allow the
flexibility of moving partitions around and changing sizes dynamically.
It's one more thing that makes our lives easier.
Again, *my* opinion.
