That's what I do too.  I have one server (see next) that has all of that 
plus RAID1.  My laptops as just as above (even Mini9, which makes it a 
tad slow, but livable), my other servers/workstations are RAID1 + LVM in 
that config.

I want to say KISS, but that's obviously an oxymoron as soon as either 
mdadm or LVM enters the picture. :-)  Still, the protection against the 
moving-part-that-WILL-fail and flexibility of LVM are worth it.

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
