Let me clarify that -- I still put the _whole_ disk under LVM/LVM2
(maybe leaving a legacy BIOS/DOS primary 256MB in a pre-formatted
FAT16 if I need it for firmware updates).  But instead of pre-allocating
"spares" of each size (essential/support/discretionary), I reserve
15-30% of the disk for future allocation by LVM/LVM2.
