We have rhel5 with rootvg and rootlv. That caused us some grief when a root
password was lost and we "simply wanted to mount it on another system".
Not so fast there skippy, all the systems have rootvg/lv so we had to work
around that... (Not rocket science, but inconvenient)

Now, (upgrading to rehl7) we put the "basic Linux system" on a
simple-to-use Mod-9 and use LVM for application file systems and a few
others.  Now it's very simple to mount that / file system on another server
if necessary.
