What if I want 4 "small" partitions instead of one monster 1TB partition?
I've read that you need a target at least as large as the source.
(I've got this aching feeling that 1TB partitions are just not a good idea,
and that granularity is always a good idea...)
It makes no sense to have multiple LVM partitions on the same disk,
just to put them back together again as one big volume group. I mean,
what's the purpose of using LVM in the first place then?
