I have generally myself used / outside LVM and nothing else. I did
recently setup one install with only /boot outside LVM and it worked
fine.
I am in the middle of installing a machine with new disks where I have
done this:
raid1 / using
sda1 25G
sdb1 25G
raid1 /home using
sdc1 25G
sdd1 25G
raid5 LVM using
sda2 475G
sdb2 475G
sdc2 475G
sdd2 475G
LVM contains swap and /var since I will be using it mainly for mythtv
which stores piles of stuff in /var. I didn't allocate all the LVM
space yet so I have 200G free for other stuff if I think of something.
