lvm gives you flexibility. For example, you might create an md mirror from two physical drives, and make that an lvm PV and add it to a VG and create one or more LVs on top. Then, in the future, you might add another md mirror with another couple of drives and create another PV and add that to the existing VG, then extend the LV(s) into the new space. It's not essential, but can be useful. R. -- robinbowes Net-UDAP is free software - you do not have to pay for it.
