That is right. In fact it sounds downright risky to me.

I've actually considered a few times how one might be able to merge the md functionality into LVM2 (device-mapper) for having software-RAID part of the logical volume system (since a software-RAID partition is a logical volume of another type anyway).

It would require some significant effort, but it seems doable.
