Hey Ross,
I thought it was best practice to create an LVM partition such that the disk could be recognizable under all circumstances such as if the volume
was moved? Is that not really "best practice" anymore?

Well if you mean recognizable by other OS's then does it matter if the other OS can't see the disk or can see the disk, but not access the data?

When it comes to terabytes MBR just doesn't cut it and GPT isn't widely recognized either and such a PITA to implement and still fraught with pitfalls between implementation.

Or did I not understand you properly?
