I'm still trying to get my head round LVM..... If I have, say, 3 disks
setup with LVM, and one of the disks dies, do I loose the data on all 3
disks, or just the data on the drive that failed?

Here's what I did and it works just fine. YMMV.

10 GB / partition
2 GB swap partition
~100GB /var/lib/mythtv partition (LVM)

I'm hoping to get another HD for Christmas and can add to the myth
partition!!
