In the past at least, the installer and grub and all did not deal with LVM for root. Not sure if they do now, but I personally wouldn't try. I do put everything else on LVM though. Most of my machines run md0 raid1 /boot ext2 128M (using /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1) md1 raid1 / ext3 20G (using /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2) md2 raid1 LVM PV (using /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3) One VG on the PV using all space lv 2G swap lv 20G /home lv 100+G /data I tend to move /var/www and /var/lib/postgres to /data and symlink them into the original place when I have a lot of data for that service. The last machine I setup, the entire setup was done with raid1, lvm and all from the debian installer. It has gotten a lot better than it used to be.
