Yes, you simply setup the RAID1 array and then use it as the LVM PV..
I use software RAID1 on two SATA drives and then create the LVM
structure on the RAID1 "disk".. Have 3 servers running like this and its
great, one was running out of space in /home but had pleanty free in
/var so I just reduced the size of /var and added to /home.. The whole
process took just a few min..
LVM can also be useful to take backups of volumes where files are
constantly changing by using the "snapshot" feature..
