LVM and RAID

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I have just been playing with Linux LVM and am quite impressed. It seems
too simple. At least when set up from SUSE 9.2. I have a few questions
for anyone who has worked with this:

1. Are there any gotchas when using a LVM on different distros? Aside
from the fact that the config may be different? Anything in the LVM
itself? If I set up a LVM on, say, SUSE, and later move to something
else (I am not considering this - but I want to know), could I expect
difficulties?

2. Can I set up a LVM that is also RAID? That is, having a file system
with oodles of storage is fine, but what about failure protection?
