I have frequently read that it is possible to use lvm on top of software =
raid multiple devices. However, the descriptions of the process were =
either somewhat vague or clearly related to the old software raid =
subsystem without persistent superblocks. I have already sent mails to the =
authors of the various howtos I found, but to no avail. Maybe some kind =
soul on this mailing list can answer my questions.

Is it possible to use multiple devices as physical volumes? The problem =
here seems to be related to the "partition ID" of the multiple devices. If =
it is possible, how do I do it? If it is not, are there any plans to fix =
it?

Regards
