As long as we aren't talking about boot partitions/sectors, the answer |
| 8 |
is yes. As long as all the drives are attached and accessible by the |
| 9 |
kernel (necessary drivers/etc present), then LVM will put them |
| 10 |
together. It doesn't care where it finds them, as all the necessary |
| 11 |
metadata is stored on the drives and gets scanned. |

If you're talking about boot partitions/sectors then it isn't a huge |
| 14 |
problem, but you do need to ensure the bootloader can find the right |
| 15 |
drives/etc, as it isn't nearly as flexible and may need updates if the |
| 16 |
drives switch order/etc, at least for legacy bootloaders. |
