If the LVM header area in front of the actual filesystem gets
damaged, it ain't pretty.
well, yes, there's that, but is the extra flexibility that comes with
logical volumes worth the extra (albeit slight) risk? i have folks
ask me my opinion occasionally (yeah, that's frightening), and i
typically suggest that it's worth it to use LVM. but i'm always
willing to listen to dissenting arguments.
