Michael,
When you say 'root directory' I assume you mean / and not /root/.
FWIW, the only time we use LVMs is for application data or log files in
directories such as /opt/was/, /oradata/logs/ or something like that. We
used to use an LVM for /var/ but found we didn't need it.
We use about a 12 GB file system for Linux (/). If the users fill up
regular Linux directories, the answer is 'Stop doing that', and very rarely
do they.
Hope this helps.
