I have seen people that installed the system using LVM unawares, then having problems that impeded booting, and having to reformat the disk after asking for help because nobody who understood LVM was available to help the chap. Don't make me laugh. You CAN"T install LVM "unawares". As we keep raising, its not a default. You HAVE to explicitly create it and all the LVs. Its not going to happen with the yast installer "just because....".
Yes, you can :-) (you are unaware of novice users inventiveness :-p ) (have you not seen videos of people with their heads stuck in impossible situations, and the fire department having to tear down walls or metal whatevers to free them? :-p ) It depends on what other options you select, some combinations direct the user to LVM, or even force it. For instance, if you request full system encryption, you get LVM without asking for it. And people that do this, having a 2 TB empty hard disk, end up by having an LVM of 30 GB and the rest empty and unused. One day they get a full disk error, which surprises them hugely because they installed on an empty and huge hard disk. Where is all that space gone to? So suddenly they find out, after asking, that they have to learn how to resize LVM and filesystems. And encrypted containers. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
