But it still doesn't let you move filesystems that aren't on LVM in to LVM. I don't understand why you keep thinking that LVM lets you do this. My very first reply to you pointed out this would be an issue for you! Personally I do not like to do redundancy at the LVM level. The main reason I use RAID is to avoid the system becoming unavailable (not booting fully) when a storage device dies. It used to be the case that an LVM Volume Group would not activate if any PVs were missing, so if a device failed and you rebooted the system wouldn't come up without manual intervention. They did fix that after a few years (initramfs is now willing to activate degraded VGs): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1337220 So I guess my main problem with it is no longer relevant, but still, I just prefer redundancy being provided by mdadm.
