Wait, what? AFAIK, multiple partitions in LVM _don't_ share free-space, they're basically independent filesystems, with the individual hard allocation limits (and if one wants to _change_ those limits, growing-shrinking filesystems in concert with partitions seems all too easy for a user to screw up, hosing their data).
