I would like to know if it is possible to extend stripped volumes with newer versions of LVM1 or even with LVM2. It looks like it was possible only with linear volumes and specific allocation policy.

Thanks.

With LVM2 to can extend any volume with a striped segment, so, for example, you could have a volume that is made up of 10G linear, 20G stripe 2 ways, 40G stripe 3 ways. You will need to use 'format 2' metadata to do this.
