I thought that this was the exact reason to setup different volumes, just to
protect your data so that a hardware failure wouldn't wipe you out.

If you have a separate volume for your databases and you loose ldev 1, can't
you just re-create/re-build/restore ldev 1 or do you still loose that other
volume when ldev 1 goes away?
