How are redundancy and drive failure handled? The only capacity mix-and-match scheme I have familiarity with is btrfs.

Synology SHR is btrfs (or ext4) on top of LVM and MD. MD is used for redundancy. LVM is used to aggregate multiple MD arrays into a volume group and to allow creating one or move volumes from that volume group.

Comment I responded to was using LVM on its own and I was wondering about durability. The docs seem to suggest LVM supports various software raid configurations but I'm not clear how that interacts with mixing and matching physical volumes of different sizes.
