Hi, Ryan.
Funny you should ask...this topic has just been discussed on
this list....:-)
It's not a good idea to put your "/" file system on an LVM;
if you ever have any problems with the LVM itself (e.g., a
lost pv, say), then the Linux system can't be booted......
In other words, don't do this....
Oh. Why does Red Hat default to using LVM?
If LVM is so unreliable that it's risky to use it for one's root
filesystem (which, in principle can easily be recovered if needs be),
then how much more risky is it to use LVM for one's most valuables?
