[Malvern] Partitions etc

[Richard Forster]

LVM kinda shoves everything[1] into one partition. But that's just a 
layer of abstraction before it presents you with space you can divide 
into partitions normally.

Is LVM considered a good thing by the others here, or is it something 
that just 'happens' when you install?
