well.. my first principle in doing something is keeping everything as 
simple it can ..  so the question is : why should i use lvm? i read so 
much about it and so far (many years passed) i didn't found a reason to 
use it...
so back to may subject : i found that is simpler to just make a raid1 
over all the device than use the lvm configuration.
which brings out the my question again : what is the status in mkinitrd 
of TUV OS 6?
