LOL ... i bite my tongue to not point out the obvious LVM problem :)
Nowadays with SSDs it's quite pointless to use extensive partitioning schemes - that
is, if you are not on OpenBSD.

I use LVM wherever possible.
:-) After a disk crash involving LVM, I am now in camp no-LVM :-) Maybe now it is better, or something, but I also
learned that simpler
is more robust, and besides with current size of HDD I have more
space than I need, so LVM would do nothing for me.
I also don't use swap (and this is approach for 20 years I guess), if
some program has to crash because of OOM, it better crash fast, than
involve reading and writing like crazy on the disk.
In my case I now use such setup:
* small boot partition
* system partition (50-60GB)
* second system partition
* home partition
For my home computer (this one) I use also data partition,
for "experimental" computer I add another home partition.
Why two system, and two home partitions? To install another system,
new version of it, etc. I don't ever upgrade the system directly (the
one I use).
Hope it helps a bit :-).
Kind regards,
