The experts also still debate this .. I myself see nothing wrong with root in an LVM - others shudder in horror. There are pros and cons to both approaches. For recovery - having a bootable LVM free Linux is a good thing so you can mount other guests VG disks without worry of duplicate VGs. It's also helpful to use minidisk addresses to help identify VG 'parts'.. 2xx disks for root VG, 3xx disks for app VG, etc... just makes it easier to know what to link to see another guests VGs (helpful whether using root in LVM or not).
