Hi Al Ah-ha, everything becomes clearer with the right acronym! Thanks.
However, still not too sure about things having read the documentation. Can someone confirm for me please that: - the disk / partition's metadata is left intact and correctly formatted so that a physical drive can be moved between machines without problems - presumeing the correct commands are issued to remove the drive from the virtual drive; and - when writing to the virtual disc, LVm won't split large files over multiple physical partitions / drives unless specifically told to do so?

I think you mean LVM. Logical Volume Management. Google/Wikipedia are your friends.
