I have not looked at LVM for a while, so my feelings about LVM may be out of
date, but you cannot boot off a LVM partition. I dont know whether LVM2/2.6
addresses this or not. The other issue is that not all filesystems are
growable, no point growing a LV if the filesystem is static.
Hope this clarifies it.
