Not ready to take the ZFS plunge? That would greatly reduce the 
complexity of RAID+LVM, since ZFS best practice is to set your hardware 
raid controller to JBOD mode and let ZFS take care of the RAID - and no 
LVM required (ZFS has mucho better tools). That is my next big project 
for when I switch to my next new server.

I'm just hoping I can get comfortable with a process for getting ZFS 
compiled into the kernel that is workable/tenable for ongoing kernel 
updates (with minimal fear of breaking things due to a complex/fragile 
methodology)...
