i dont have much expirience on LVM, but already used mdadm (a bit)
either way, one thing i like about gluster is that it doesnt introduce a 
new filesystem OR handling of the filesystem underneath gluster
its not that i dont want to learn something new, but when it comes to 
safety of my data
i appreciate tools that i already know and in case of some failure i 
understand whats
happening and the problems that can further arise from such a failure

as a worst case i think i will export the disks via unix domain sockets, 
mount this directory
and reexport again using a second server vol file
at least it should work

well, would be an interesting option, but not necessary i think ^^
but as stated above standard tools are easier and fail safer to use for 
me (currently)
