For my personal systems, I do / on the first partition and everything
else on LVM.  I don't mind sacrificing a few gig to the first partition
for one less layer of VFS on the most crucial partition.  But then I do
generally put all the major trees over onto their own lvm filesystems -
/usr, /var/, /home and swap,
