The difference between LVM and conventional partitions is that I can resize, 
image, clone, backup & restore without regard to what will or won't boot to 
perform any of those processes. I can do any or all of them identically 
whether I've booted DOS, OS/2, Linux, Windows or even OS X[1], or where I had 
to put the HD(s) to gain access to them. LVM is an extra layer that thwarts 
the way I manage my many multiboot systems, that may or may not thwart a 
beginner's ability to understand and cope with storage space management and 
allocation.
