given modern disks are large, is it possible to have LVM strictly assigned at one disk, or separate LVM to each disk?
Of course.
Actually you can have LVM per partition, right?
can you expand that? I don't understand.
AFAIK, LVM ist just a data structure on a block device. So /dev/hda1 is such a device just as /dev/hda is.
do you mean that one can make partitions on a drive then set lvm to be used only on this partition?
This or these partitions. Yes.
if so, it's very good.
I always have seen LVM advertised as a mean to have one partition spanning several disks
Yes you can, you can make more insane things as well however. I have LVM on top of MD on top of partitions (EVMS): Everything mirrored plus almost everything in LVM.
