How to create a terabyte storage array?

[Zach]

File gets corrupted/damaged/deleted/misplaced/overwritten/etc--> go to
backup set and restore. That seems fairly relevent.

Backups will enable that.  Raid will not.  Certainly raid has
advantages in terms of reliability over the long term, which is useful
especially where server availability is a priority.  However, I'm just
trying to point out that LVM brings some advantages in terms of
simplicity to set up and maintain, and warrants consideration.  It is
a very viable option, especially if backups are being performed.
