Yes. LVM raid is today usually best to avoid. I generally use mdadm
for raid (unless hardware raid is available) and put lvm on top of that.
And I tend to use raid whenever I can, that is, in almost every
machine with enough room for disks, and raid1, raid6 or raid10,
sometimes raid0 when speed is crucial but data is expendable
(cheap to regenerate); raid5 I try to avoid.
