You know that LVM is not a type of filesystem, right?

If you actually plan to use the same type of filesystem for /, /usr and /var, then why putting /usr and /var on separate partitions? I can only see drawbacks. Those I mentioned earlier.

And, currently the partition for / is huge (given that its largest subdirectories are in separate partitions), the one for /usr is tiny (most of the application files are in /usr) and /opt probably is too large (in Trisquel, /opt is used to put application you install by hand; otherwise it remains empty).

Is there any advantage in using ext3 instead of ext4? If you cannot answer this question, you should choose ext4.
