Well, since the whole point of having LVM is ease of resizing logical volumes,
and resizing MD device is impossible or painful, i do not really understand
why should anyone want to do this.
If mirroring were to be implemented over lvm, it should be at the PE/LE level,
in the LVM driver itself, since this is not true (search archives for the reasoning
behind this) the only sensible chance is having LVM over MD.
