I don't like LVM.
I used it for a year or two, but then I had a disaster,
and the LVM partitions became inaccessible.
With today's large disks, there is rarely if ever any need to re-size.
And I don't see the point of spreading a file-system over several disks.
So for me the disadvantages of LVM outweigh the advantages.
