I thought your question was one of moving spare space _between_ LVM volumes.

First steps of my procedure was to release unused space from an LVM
volume. If you have unused space on a raw disk already you obviously do
not need those steps. If you do not want LVM at all then the procedure
is reduced to the following:

1. Run cfdisk and setup the spare space as a default (82) partition.
2. Reboot
3. mke2fs -j /dev/whatever_the_name_of_the_partition


Personally I find advantages of using LVM. I disagree with the
partitioning scheme chosen for Skolelinux, but would not avoid LVM.
