Yes this is also a thing.

I used to do what you're doing. Last 6-7 years I've been running mirrored setup so I could expand by just adding a new vdev. Rebuilt it twice when I upgraded to significantly larger disks.

What are you doing now? Surely there are better ways...

Researching my options...

As I mentioned ZFS on top of LVM seems interesting in terms of features and flexibility. But reliability-wise... I'd like to run a more proper test setup to gain some experience before I'd trust it.
