My current system has one 200GB IDE drive, and two 400GB SATA
drives. I created a 100MB partition on the IDE drive which mounts as
/boot, then created an LVM group using everything else. All other
partitions (swap, /, /video, /music) are within that LVM group. (or is it
volume?)
Clearly IDE and SATA drives will play together nicely in an LVM group,
at least on my system. I don't really think LVM cares what kind of block
device is included, just as Poul stated.
