hi Nathan,

It's been a while since I played with LVM + RAID, but from memory, what
you need to do is:
1) Create your software raid device (eg /dev/md0)
2) Create LVM partitions on the device /dev/md0

The Software RAID Howto is the best thing I know:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html

And the LVM howto shows you what commands you need:
