Does anyone have advice based on experience using LVM ? I sb partitioning a new 320 GB hard drive soon for a simple desktop box. That is 8 times the size of the HDD in my present machine, which I haven't exhausted by any means. LVM seems more professional & allows flexibility for unforeseen storage needs, but it adds a layer of complexity & potential problems arising therefrom. I wonder whether LVM slows down disk access & whether there's a disaster lurking unseen if anything goes wrong with LVM: a bad package update, a damaged config file or file storing LVM's layout would seem to risk losing everything on the HDD & require re-installation.
