You can, but you need your initramfs to load the appropriate modules.
(I do not - I prefer to make a standard size partition for Root, and
then use LVM to add logical volumes to that as and when necessary)
I have everything on raid but not lvm - but LVM I then use for
/var/cache
/usr/lib/openoffice
/usr/share/openclipart
/usr/src
as will as for
my home directory and several subdirectories of that
and a backup and archiving area
