Two drives in either RAID will most likely kill your LVM.
Guess the friend was right, although I had a feeling he would be. Well,
there isn't much data on the arrays yet, so I think I might just rebuild
it as one big RAID 5 instead.
It's a matter of blind luck, but any LV that sits on the dead
RAID5
array will be taken with it.
Ok. I need to mount all the storage on one file system, so having two
arrays won't work (I want to mount everything on /srv).
Thanks to everyone for the input!
