As has been mentioned in another thread, RAID 1 pairs with LVM is pretty
safe and flexible. The disadvantage is when adding more capacity, you have
to add drives in pairs.
With RAID 5, you don't have to add in pairs: just add a drive when you want

LVM can do all of this. If you just want to plug in drives without
