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,
