One design error is that you cannot "carve out" an ordinary partition
from an LVM. Once a portion of the drive is LVM, then that portion of
the drive is LVM forever until the LVM is completely gone.
That's not true. You can shrink the PV with pvresize and then create
any desired partitions in the resulting space. Or did you mean
something different?
