I'm a little late to the conversation but just to offer another option. I actually did want LVM on my EEEPC 701. I only have a 4GB main SSD as well and I also have a 4GB SD card it it. On my original install of F12 I found the SSD to be rather slow so since I don't keep anything important on it I decided to experiment with an LVM striped volume. I end up wasting a little space for two reasons. One I need a /boot that's not in LVM, and two, although both are considered 4GB storage devices, they are not exactly the same size. Anyway, I used gparted from System Rescue CD on a flash drive to setup my partitions since anaconda can be rather limiting, especially prior to the F13 version. Then I use the custom disk layout option and manually set everything up. I find a noticeable reduction in program load times with the LVM stripe and if eithe drive goes bad, no problem. Like I said I don't keep anything important on it.
