5. It is easy to move lvm partitions from disk to disk, using pvmove.
6. It is easier to maintain lvm partitions, adding new ones, deleting ones,
etc.
7. LVM doesn't tap into your partition table. No more messing around with
primary partitions, extended partitions, etc. You create 1 giant partition,
designate it as an LVM partition, add it to a volume group, and you can
slice the space anyway you want to.
