I know, but I'm kind of old-fashioned and have some (probably
unwarranted) distrust of having the really essential bits of the
system in LVM if they don't really need to be.
The system needs swap and I'm unlikely to want to change the size of
that swap, but if I do I can just add more swap from inside LVM. / is
also unlikely to need to be resized ever, so I keep that outside of
LVM too.
My position on this is probably going to have to change given the
current "get rid of /usr" plans that seem to be gaining traction in
the Linux community. A beefier / would probably justify being in
LVM to me.
But really it is all just personal taste isn't it..
Cheers,
Andy
