Only negative I've heard is:
If you have a logical volume that spans multiple HDD's, and one of the
disks goes bad, the file system on your LV will be corrupted/lost. (I
think this is similar to RAID-0?) So, IIRC, currently best practice is
that if your goal is to make a large volume group made up of several
physical volumes, that the physical volumes should be redundant RAID
devices themselves to avoid this problem.
Perhaps someone else can confirm/refute this?
