Thanks for the input.

But I want to use raid 5 in order to get more volume space while maintaining 
redundancy.

The problem I described was explained by Neil Brown over a year ago:
  http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2001-00/0762.html

But I still have not seen a good solution.  Hopefully, I just haven't searched 
well enough.  Does nobody use RAID level 5 with LVM?  If this is still a 
problem, then it's a big showstopper for Linux as a file server, as I see it.
