We should encourage use of LVM. This is now anaconda installation
default, but moreover it's a better choice by far when you're
administering a system for service provision.
Yes, that's the idea - my plan is to write pretty comprehensive LVM
subsection (iv). I also want to include all this other stuff (not so
extensively), mostly as a background info and an aid to better
understanding of the LVM concept. I've found this more than useful when
introducing people to LVM.
