(but not limited to) non-raid setups where you want one partition over a |

number of disks. |

If you have RAID 5 however, don't you just get one large disk out of it? |

In which case you could just create x partitions. You can always use |

parted to resize / move them later. |

IMHO recovery from tiny boot disks is easier without LVM too. |
