Alan, Nice reminder. Like myself, a lot of people forget that LVM is not the only way to aggregate volumes on Linux(/390).

LVM and md (the multidisk layer) are two things. lvm deals with dynamic reassignment of space which is a nice thing to have. The md layer deals with raid 0 1 and 5. With md you can concatenate and stripe volumes. You can also do raid 1 and 5 although on S/390 I find it hard to see why you would do that at the Linux level Alan
