surely this is more to do with booting than anything else ?
It certainly used to be the case that the recommended and intended
primary use of LVM was using whole physical volumes (ie: a entire
hard disk, say /dev/hde rather than /dev/hde1) as PVs (hence the name!)
note that using disks in this way is not the same as not having
partitions on your *boot* volume.
is redhat really so broken ? surely not!
