FWIW, I have LVM working on top of two RAID arrays (one RAID-1, the other RAID-5) in my current system, set up through the partition configurator in the Debian installer - and the only issue I remember having was with getting GRUB installed to the appropriate drives to let things boot properly. Admittedly dealing with that part did take manual intervention, quite a bit of headache, and at least three full passes through the installer (which takes a while, when each pass involves mkfs.ext4 on an over-6TB volume), and I don't quite remember how I did it anymore... but the result certainly works. (This was with at most the current-stable and I think even perhaps the current-oldstable installer, FWIW. For all I know, things may work better in current testing.) - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
