I used to use something like this for a long time as well,
but I think it was Neil from this list, who made me think
about that - what's the use of /boot here? Why a seperate
/boot partition?

Anyway, I now stopped using a seperate /boot and "integrated"
it with /, so that I only need to have this:

[hs]da1: /, 512m, ext3, reiserfs or maybe xfs
[hs]da2: swap, size as needed
[hs]da3: LVM

I don't have swap on LVM, as I'd like to do suspend-to-disk,
which is easier to do with an old-style partition. And I 
also don't resize my swap partition. But if I'd need *additional*
swap, I'd create that as a LV on LVM - it's just the "primary"
SWAP, which I like to keep off-LVM.

Regards,

Alexander
