Never really cared for LVM. Always used the direct partition approach.
Well, perhaps I can try to convince you some more.
Take another example of upgrading to a bigger disk.
You mean "upgrade all the disks in the raid array". Surely you do not run
any important machines with single disks?
Sure, but it will work either way. I run workstations without RAID and
servers with RAID and the advantages of having an abstraction layer
between the FS and the hardware -- or the FS and another redundancy
layer like MD -- are comparable.
