As far as I know, lvm support has been added in Knoppix 5.1.
Be aware, that if you edit a file with Knoppix, it might not have SELinux
labels appropriately set, so fixfiles or equivalent might be needed in
CentOS to have the system run correctly (I run into this problem after
editing /etc/fstab and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 on a
cloned FC6 with Knoppix; got some avc messages and before running fixfiles
swap had not been automatically enabled, network interface did not work.)
