What's LVM (I'm new to this list)? I'm considering Linear or RAID-0; is LVM
an alternative and where can I get more info, please?

AFAIK:
LVM is Logical Volume Management. It's an abstraction which seperates
storage devices into logical volumes, volume groups and physical
volumes. Allows you to rearrange where/how data is physically stored
without affecting the logical high-level view of how your data is
stored. See:
http://linux.msede.com/lvm/
currently only supports "linear" and raid0. It'd be nice to see the
linux-raid and linux-lvm patches merged. They complement each other
very much. Anybody know if/when this will happen?
