say that you have 2 TB of LVM data in a single xfs partion. It's
comprised of 6 drives ( mixture of 500gig and 300gig drives)
Now say that you lose one drive to a power surge... you lose all
of your 2TB of data... not just the data on the drive. If you keep
the drives separated, if you lose one drive, you only lose the
data on that drive.
