Warnings first: If you plan on using LVM, make sure that LVM binary is statically linked. I once burnt my fingers badly by using a dynamically linked LVM kernel needs LVM to mount /usr and /usr needs to be mounted because some of the dependencies were in sudirs of /usr. Had to compile LVM statically on other machine and copy it over to get my system to work again. That said, if you take a little care LVM or EVM give you lots of flexibility over how you share the disk space, you can change the sizes at will, and since reizefs allows increasing the size while online, you dont even have to unmount the fs while doing so. Havent tried EVM myself, but it seems to have good front ends too.
