Hello, Here, at our student radio station, we use LVM. Each physical volume is a double RAID 1 array of disks. So LVM makes it a JBOD. We can expand it anytime on the fly if we hot add disks in our bay, which hosts several SATA controllers, some of them are currently unused, but ready to accept new disks.
Hoggins!
