Our current Samba implementation has a non-striped LVM. Theres the obvious performance penalty but its offset by greater flexibility to change the file system size as needed. I'd imagine the performance would be identical in a low demand environment but varies exponentially as the load increases. I would be interested in seeing a comparison of striped vs non-striped file systems and the effects of an increasing workload specific to Samba.
