first if you quote the mailing-list signature is difficult to read

what is difficult to read?

* not so long ago GRUB2 was no topic in Fedora (around 2009)
* but ext4 got stable late in 2008
* in 2009 ext4 was fully supported for /
* but you could not boot from ext4
* you needed /boot as ext2/ext3

so no problem on my setups having /boot all the time as
own partition and in case of virtual machines even as own
disk because you can expand it and with a little more work
even shrink (new disk, data migration, throw away the old)

i am usually installing operation system ONE TIME for many
years, with a little luck for my whole lifetime and if you
have complex setups the migration / preparing is always
better than install from scratch and rebuild all your
configurations / customaziations

so in my wold LVM is useless, the big data are on sevrers
this servers are ALL virtual machines and so there is
no LVM needed for expand disks

the only exception with LVM is the fileserver, only for the
datadrive because in 2010 it was not possible to create a
single virtual disk with % TB

yes, i am speaking about professional IT where things are
well planned and not randomly installed

* OS
* disk layout
* storage sizes
* internal repo/buildservers
* SAN storages

who needs LVM having his server on a SAN-storage which
supports snapshots, having a virtualization layer supporting
snapshots and at least having a virtualization layer supporting
consitent backups of running servers?

home IT does not interest me in any way
