CentOS and LVM partitions

moin moin,

CentOS is wanting to install the /boot partition on a primary partition
and the rest of the partitions on an LVM partition.

fdisk -l then only lists two partitions. One needs to know to put
subsequent boot partitions as primary or extended rather than LVM.

It also becomes not so easy to debug partition issues because you can't
see them through normal mechanisms.

Anybody have an opinion on using LVM partitions? The greatest thing since
USB to SATA adapters? Some badly done sci fi horror? It's the future, so
just get used to it?

ciao,

der.hans
