I don't think I've ever used it like that, and probably wouldn't. At
least not unless the underlying devices were RAID1 or similar.

Spanning devices seems to me to be more or less the same as RAID0
(striping), and just as risky - perhaps slightly more convenient to
recover data from, but it certainly doesn't sound easy.

On the other hand, constraining myself to one 'device' (generally an
mdraid RAID1 device, often on partitions smaller than the disk) per vg,
I would rarely do without it.
