Another part of the discussion may be the fact that a large number of
users are running dual (or multiple) boot systems, keeping the
pre-installed Windows and adding Linux. Others will have Windows and
Mandriva, adding Mageia.
While LVM may be nice if you are running one OS on one harddisk, it
may be not so easy when running 3 OS on one harddisk. Or different
installations of the same Linux (like stable version and cauldron).
I do run lvm on Fedora and mac os x without any trouble. Windows will
not support any linux file system more than lvm, and the same goes for
os x.
For a linux system, a lvm logical volume is just another disk.
Apart from all possible issues, diskdrake needs first to be improved.
Looking on partitions when you run LVM still needs to have knowledge
about how it works. And I really don't think people can easily
understand PV, VG, LV and FS
One thing that needs to be fixed in diskdrake : Although it recognizes
and works with standard gpt partition tables -- an alternative to the
usual mbr partition tables -- it doesn't work properly with hybrid gpt
tables. (A version of gpt that allows dual-booting with ms-w.)
Gpt is inherently more stable than mbr, and the standard version allows
128 primary partitions -- in less space than normally wasted in a disk
with an mbr table.
