Sure, ... but remember, there is no redundance with LVM - a LVM is
"logical", and relies on the underlying "physical" layer to provide
reduncancy a la RAID.

All LVM provides is the ability to span multiple physical partitions into
a single logical partition, .. if one drive dies, everything is toast
unless the physical volumes are part of a RAID configuration.

That is the main reason I prefer RAID6 over LVM - much easier to extend,
and much simpler to manage with mdadm.
