[mythtv-users] BE Disk / Filesystem Layout

I've read all the horror stories about the Raids. I had been thinking
I'd use LVM, and just add disks as I need them -- but that would suffer
the same 100% loss on any disk failure.
Does Myth support using multiple filesystems for storing data? I'm
thinking that might be a way to mitigate loss if drive failure occurs.
Something like:
/myth/disk1
/myth/disk2
.
.
.
Otherwise, I think LVM is probably the easiest solution -- but one day,
everything will be gone.
And, the disk question: I'm looking at segate barracude disks for
roughly $.25/Gb on pricegrabber.com. I like segate since they have a 5
year warranty. I'm also thinking $50 for 200Gb disks sounds about right
-- When I need more space, drop in another 200Gb.
Are there any glaring flaws in my plan?
