LVM has some serious risk involved.
Let us assume that in any give day you have a 1 in 3,000 chance of a drive 
failure.

Now assume LVM is in use, and the LVM is made up of 3 drives.  You
now have 3 in 3000 chance of failure, and any single failure may take
out your entire file system, since you can never predict where a file
or portions of a file will reside.
