By far the easiest way I have found to setup LVM is with WebAdmin. It also makes it a snap to back up your mythconverg database as well. I currently have two drives with LVM partitions for a /video mount. That mount also contains the database backup. Now I can reinstall, import the database back in and viola I'm back up and running without any lost programming. Works like a charm.

Pete,
you should be able to set up LVM to share a directory over two or more
drives. this will require a bit of data ballet since you will have to
repartition (?) your current drive with LVM.
i do remember seeing a tutorial on setting up LVM and it didn't look
too terribly difficult, but i can't find it at the moment. i'm
guessing Google: LVM MythTV will pull something up...
