It certainly used to be the case that the recommended and intended primary use of LVM was using whole physical volumes (ie: a entire hard disk, say /dev/hde rather than /dev/hde1) as PVs (hence the name!) note that using disks in this way is not the same as not having partitions on your *boot* volume. is redhat really so broken ? surely not!
