That was what I remembered. I just took a look, and see that you don't
need to have a separate partition on the server for the RVM metadata, but
they warn that it could be slow if you don't use a separate partition
(around 40M / gigabyte served). Also the RVM transaction log is
recommended to be a raw partition but could be a file. I'm not sure why
they recommend it as a partition, but when the recommended method (in the
HOWTO) seems to involve two dedicated partitions, it seems like a bit much.
