     "BTW, one crazy idea I've been toying with is using LVM2 as a   
     filesystem for large files. Use each partition as a file. You could 
     control the placement of every file, giving you 99% of the theoretical 
     transfer rate with virtually no CPU usage. It might be great for 
     digital video and PVRs like MythTV."

Have you tested this idea? Just curious...
