[Gluster-devel] LVM MD GlusterFS

The FAQ in the GlusterFS wiki says as much.

http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/Gluster_FAQ

"Distributions should be installed without LVM/Software Raid. Support for LVM/SW Raid is being added currently."

I can confirm that software RAID plays nice enough.  However, I have not tested with LVM.
