So, Peter, are you saying that using up 3 partitions is so bad compared to 2
that we should be concerned about it?
Yes, absolutely. That being said, the economy of partitions themselves
isn't the only advantage. What if you wanted to make your swap device
*smaller*, and give the freed space up to some already extant
filesystem? If it's not on LVM, you really can't do that.
Really, it's this simple: if you're going to have LVM for anything, you
want to use it wherever it's possible on your persistently attached
storage. For us, right now, that means everything except /boot .
Sorry, this is a non-starter argument to me.
Consider dual booting and other such scenarios.
Still, not a big deal. Some 6 or 7 years ago a friend of mine set his
machine (desktop PC) up for quad-booting: Linux, Windows, NetWare and
SCO Unix. No problem if you know how. No LVM, just plain partitions...
Isn't this discussion going OT for this list?

Dariusz
