Hang on a sec.  LVM would make it easy to add drives.  And as I understood it, you recommend a RAID in the garage and another in the HTPC, LVMed together?  Well with this I could add another array, but that's not what's needed.  I'd need to add a drive to the garage and another to the HTPC, which means each of those arrays would need to be completely reconstructed.

OTOH if I set up the garage as an LVM and the HTPC as another, then RAID those LVMs together, maybe I could add a drive to each LVM... AS LONG AS I add the same size drive to BOTH the garage and HTPC for expansion?  And no need to completely reconstruct the RAID array?
