easy way to convert an existing single-disk installation to LVM. make
the free space (hope you've got some) into a PV, create LVs, move over
your filesystem mountpoint by mountpoint and make the old partitions
into PVs as you go so you don't run out of disk. i was seriously
considering going that way myself.

then again, i was also considering creating two VGs, one for "user" data
and one for "system" stuff. now, i'm trying to figure out what i thought
the point of this was, maybe something about possible future migrations
to multispindle systems.
