That is about the line that i was thinking. I definitely will not make it part of the same vg, that would be insane. The scsi disk would be also under lvm management, with the exception of / (i don't use /boot as a separate mount point), because i might be able to probably add one more 9GB scsi disk into the vg, and then mirror the 2 disks using lvm.

I'll see what i can work out, and perhaps let you guys know, if anyone would be interested.

so far thanks

I'd mirror, and LVM the 2 IDE disks for user data, and install the system on the SCSI. If you can ever imagine it necessary to alter partition sizes for the system, then LVM the SCSI disk too, but DON'T make it part of the same vg, it's unnecessary and can cause major headaches in the event of a failure
or hardware moves.
Personally, I wouldn't LVM the SCSI disk as, if you can get your hands on another disk at some point, it's relatively straight forward (from an livecd)
to convert your system partitions to RAID mirrors.
