LVM and EVMS are not directly comparable. EVMS is a full volume
management system which can manage LVM volumes. I used EVMS to manage my
disks and part of that was creating LVM2 volumes under EVMS. To me EVMS
allows me to manage the disks easier.

AFAIK, yes. LVM2 would be the "non-traditional" partitioning scheme
of choice for Linux. Plus, you can grow the filesystem to a second
array later if you need more space.
But, I have no experience with filesystems larger than 0.5TB, so I
cannot say what the _best_ method is. LVM2 would just be my first
choice.
Why would this be better than EVMS? Note, I'm not challenging what
you are saying, just curious to learn the advantages or
limitations of LVM2 versus EVMS?

I only ask these questions, as I'm researching how to use either LVM
or something to manage a very large file sytem (T bytes) of
video and several databases.
