It's acceptable, barely. I would never recommend it. It's caused me too much grief over the years. When you get thrown into a rescue situation, the only tools you have available are in the root file system. If you can't get to them because LVM is bent then you have to resort to other means, with the attendant problems others have already discussed. > Or is it recommended to have the root directory as a regular directory and > not expandable. This is what I recommend. If you break out the parts of the root file system that are likely to need expansion, / itself will never need to be expanded. Problem solved.
