Frankly, that is new to me. How can I control *where* the newly created partition (in lvm) will be? Or is it somehow "default" that if I create only one big partition on my disk, and assign it to lvm, than 1st partition I create within lvm will be at the beginning of the disk??? But even if it is so, if you resize partition by lvm, this advantage could be lost. And if it even is possible to keep some partition continuous, than resizing partition in lvm would be very long process: if I resize 1st partition (the fastest, on the most outer cylinders) and want to keep it continuous, lvm would have to move all other partitions...
