The LVM will most likely be on 1 disk (for home systems). The the early days disk were small and than LVM was used to obtain bigger file systems. Nowadays disks are big enough and LVM is used for convenience to be able to resize partition. 1 disadvantage by introducing LVM is another layer that can break. I use LVM as well, and when I have to do something with it, I always have to look up the commands as I never remember these.... > > > If so, then by all means.
