I use LVM too, but not for that purpose. I use LVM to combine multiple physical volumes into a single logical volume. For example, on the s390 architecture, a 3390-3 DASD volume is about 2.2G. If I want a file system larger than 2.2G, I have to use LVM and add multiple DASD volumes to a single logical volume. So far, I have been able to use programs such as partman from the Debian installer to resize physical partitions without too much trouble and without data loss, though I must admit that I haven't done it in a while. Also, I'm not sure that I'd put /boot and / on different physical disks. That means that if *either* disk fails you can't boot, not even into single user mode. -- .''`.
