Slight misunderstanding: only the "boot" partition needs to be <2GB on
the disk. The root/swap/etc has no restrictions if you have a seperate /boot.
/boot can be the palo partition since James Bottomley added some ext2
hackery (spare out the boot loader blocks) to palo. I haven't set any
of my boxes up this way yet but will on future installs.

I've consistently been advised to avoid LVM and use mdadm instead.
Maybe LVM fits your needs better.
