The fact that LVM isn't supported in a certain environment using gparted is probably not a good argument against using it globally. LVM solves a lot more problems than it causes, take it from someone who held out for a long while himself. :-) There are ways to move LVM partitions around to make more space for, and then resize, an existing physical /boot partition... but none of them are pretty. (Resizing other partitions dynamically? Now *that* is easy with LVM, something you can't say otherwise.) -- Paul W.
