Sorry, this post wasn't an answer to your problem, it was a comment on
the discussion whether raid should be implemented in LVM or not.

At the moment neither LVM1 nor DM (LVM2) can provide redundancy. But you
can use LVM on top of the software raid5 driver in linux. I don't think
there is another way at the moment.
